12 Week Training....CHECK!

Wow! It's been a long time since I have written. I suppose I was just feeling rather uninspired to share- since it's been pretty much the same around here.
Today, however, is a little special- It's the last day of my 12 week training program created by Kris Gethin. I started this journey around May 28.  I have a weigh in from 5/1 = 188- so I was probably about 190 lbs when I started. This morning I took my weight = 174! I know 16 lbs isn't as big of a number as I was hoping for but I have seen amazing changes in my body over the last 12 weeks. I have dropped so many pounds of fat and gained a lot of lean muscle.  I have done a fair amount of reflection because I started this program and I stuck to it- even though it was hard! I didn't follow it to a T but I followed it very closely and never missed a workout.  It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to stick to a program- and even though I had already been working out and eating healthy I feel like I really accomplished something by finishing. I guess what I am really trying to say is: I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF! Yep, there I said it! I don't usually tut my own horn, but this almost feels better than the day I graduated with my Masters degree. It's right up there anyway.

I took pictures but cant get them load properly. Will post some soon.

Whats next? Well, I told my wife that I would take a "about a week" off. She seems to think that means 7 FULL days. I am pretty sure I mean 5 days off. After this week off I will start back at week one for the 12 week program. In hopes that I can finally get those damn abs- and a little more ripped!
