My Fitness Goals

For the next few months, I'll be reporting progress made toward reaching my personal fitness goals. I just turned 50, and I see high-level fitness as an extreme challenge. And I love a good challenge. My goal is to be in top shape by February. Currently, I weigh 225 at approximately 16% bodyfat. So, my goal is to get below 10% at around 205. The trick is to lose fat without sacrificing muscle. One has to lose fat slowly while lifting weights to maintain muscle. Losing about 1-2 lbs. a week is ideal.

I will be posting pictures and possibly videos to chronicle my progress. Please comment or ask questions. Just knowing that others may be monitoring my progress helps to motivate me.
