Hi everyone, nice to meet you all :)

About a month ago I gave up drinking, and a lot of the friends that pulled into bad situations. It's been rough, but I know what I have to do for me. I also have been incorporating more strength training into my workout routine, and stepping up my cardio. What I need to change now is calorie intake.

I eat sooo much!! I'm always eating, it's usually healthy stuff, but it's still a lot of it haha. So I'm trying to calorie count and hold myself accountable. The past two days it's been working, I want to do ~1700 on the 5 days I work out and ~1500 on the 2 rest days, and I want to focus on trying to get a crap-ton of protein because I'm wearing my muscles out hardcore now ;)

Hoping to gain some friends here! I'm 185-190lbs ish now but I want to be ~145 next summer or so?? We'll see!!
