Hey guys. Been a long time since I've been in here. This has been the busiest times of my life. I've still been trying to get in the gym and loft but my training for the Army has had to take the front stage. I have been running at least 4 times a week and have been doing sit ups and push ups to prepare my self for PT in the Army. I should be sworn in in about a week, it's a very long process. Put that in with summer school and a full time job, and I stay busy. I have still been able to get in the gym 3 times a week but my workout schedule isn't as consistent as I would like. I need to take time to put together a Army/gym workout that will let me continue to progress. Also, I need to get a solid eating plan that will give me enough calories to maintain mass but lose fat. I'm right at the top of the weight limit for my height.

Just thought I'd let anyone who reads know how it's going and I will try to get in here consistently again.

Glad to hear from you Andy. I got worried that something happened and you stopped training. How's the running going?

I'm right at the top of the weight limit for my height.

I had the same issue in the Army because of muscularity.

Running is going well. I ran 2.4 miles in about 17:45 last week and that is my best. I need to keep pushing and getting faster every week. I'm happy with what I've accomplished so far considering that my flat feet make running really hard and to get where I have in this past month or so is an accomplishment. I want to get to a 14:00 2 mile run by August 22.

It is very frustrating because I know I have some fat on me that I need to lose but I also have some muscle and I know I am not out of shape. But I figure if I just get rid of about 10 pounds of fat they won't be able to say anything

You could always do a quick week of Paleo before a weigh in, and probably knock out a fast 5-7 pounds.

Since I weighed in yesterday, I won't have to for a while and hopefully by then I won't have to worry about it
