Back in the Saddle

Well I am back at it again. I enlisted the help of a Personal Trainer to help me get through the last two semesters of school and to help me stay focused to reach my goal. My wife and I are excitedly awaiting the arrival of our first child, so I am trying to stay focused on that also.

I have had some major problems with my weight loss since the beginning of the year, I haven't gained more weight than I started with, but I have fluctuated up and down and now I am working to just keep going down.

I sat down with my PT and we came up with some goals:
1. Drink water before soda (this is super tough for me)
2. Eat 1700 cal everyday
3. Cardio 5x a week
4. split weight routine 4x a week
I started last week on the 3rd and I weighed myself today and I have lost 13.6 pounds. Granted the first week I lost 10 in water, but 3.4 in the last 5 days isn't bad.

Next week I up the workout. So far so good though!
