    Log and track diligently in order to calculate my TDEE while doing little (or no) cardio. Try to improve strength numbers.

    Or to put it much more simply:

    -Eat all teh foodz
    -Do none of the cardio
    -Make all the gainz
    -Find out how much I'd get to eat to bulk :)

    ETA: GET to eat on a bulk, not HAVE to

    Place well this coming show season (june and august). Even if I don't place well, I will still look my best ever.

    Finish another round of C25K running faster and also start strength training this quarter. This should get me close to my goal weight.

    Off the top of my head...

    -Eat more fruit (I love veggies but almost never eat fruit)
    -Work on strengthening my core. Its weak as can be and throws everything off for me.
    -Greatly improve squat form and actually start doing squats on a regular basis (squat slacker!)
    -Start lifting again (slacking on that as well)
    -Hopefully reign in my thyroid levels & figure out my ideal net cal intake(work in progress)
    -Walk more/drive less

    - Keep logging most of the time
    - Keep losing slowly, in the hope that less of what I lose is muscle and the maintenance transition is easier
    - Keep working on strength gains via lifting

    1. Lose 10 pounds by sticking to my calorie goal.
    2. Complete C25K.
    3. Figure out what the hell is causing my shoulder pain, get it feeling better, so I can get back to All Pro.
    4. Stretch for 10 minutes once a day.

    Update time!
    1. I lost 8 pounds by sticking to my calorie goal 10 out of 12 weeks.
    2. I did 2 weeks of C25K, then my knees were not happy. I enjoyed it, and would like to try it again sometime, but for now will stick with walking.
    3. Started paying out of pocket for a good physical therapist after going through my insurance for 3 months wasn't helping. My shoulder is improving, thought still not back to All Pro.
    4. I am doing better with stretching, doing about 20 minutes 2-3 times a week.

    I am feeling really good, and am within a few pounds of my goal weight.

    Update:

    Shortly after my post I injured myself. It knocked me down for a while but my squat is finally back to full strength. My deadlift is nowhere to be found unfortunately.

    Original goals for 2014:

    Bench:
    300x1
    225x10

    Squat:
    450x1

    Deads:
    500x1


    I've already hit both bench press goals. New goal would be to hit 315x1 by end of year.

    Squats are currently at 410x1, however it was a reasonably good 410. I think 450 is within reach by end of the year.

    Deads are nowhere near. I was at 415x1 when I made the original post, and I'm not back to 415 yet post-injury. At this rate, I'll be happy to be back to 405 by end of the year.

    I'm glad to hear you're back lifting. I get hobbled from time to time with injuries and both being away from lifting/training, and then climbing back up that ladder stink. From my perspective yours are awesome numbers.

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm definitely happy where I'm at collectively -- it's just tough when you've got 1 lift that is so far behind that it's easy to focus on it rather than be happy about what's going well =)
