    Logging every day for the entire month. Cut back my portions, allow myself cheat days once per week. NOT have more cheat days than once a week. Work out 4+days per week all month.

    My goal for May is reach my fat loss goal of 184 lbs. I intend to do this by:

    *Reaching my macro nutrient goals
    *Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts
    *Avoiding processed foods
    *Limiting dairy (I'm addicted to Chobani)
    *Continuing the cardio workouts
    *Incorporating more resistance training

    Looking forward to June when I will start concentrating on muscle tone and development after having reached my desired weight goal.

    Ended the month at 189.2 lbs, which is down about 6 lbs for the month - approximately 1/2 of my goal. However, still a success. I did have about four days where I grossly exceeded my calorie needs - travel, graduations, holidays are all difficult. I found out that it is not enough to take healthy foods with me on a trip - I must also plan each meal, otherwise I will "graze" and over eat. It is also rather difficult to exercise normally when traveling. I'll have to work on this.

    *Reaching macro nutrient goals - I did really well in this area.

    *Eating more fruits, veggies, legumes, and nuts - This was also an area of improvement. I'm finding that my cravings for red meat are subsiding somewhat. Strangely, my taste for chocolate has increased. This seems odd for a guy that has never been a big fan of chocolate.

    *Avoiding processed foods - Another successful area. Getting better at eating fresh and raw.

    *Limiting dairy - Only fair success here. I've limited Chobani w/fruit, but I've started including more cheeses.

    *Continuing cardio workouts - Overall an area of strong improvement. I've had very few days that did not incorporate a cardio workout of some type.

    *Incorporate more resistance training - Utter and complete failure, which is a heavy contributor to my lack of attainment of my weight loss goal. I know I must work out (especially the upper body) if I am to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it seems so pointless and like I am going no where when doing this. Maybe a PT would help, I dunno. Sometimes someone nagging me gets me going.

    Thoughts and advice are welcomed. I'll post new goals in a June thread.
