Commencing Operation try not to get mistaken for a beached whale!

Well it was a rough semester and as you can see by my last post, I stopped lifting months ago. I have reached highs of 190 pounds and haven't felt very healthy. So now that that my semester is done it is my goal to get back in the gym, start eating healthier (no more soda), and get back down to a reasonable weight of 175 pounds by the time I start up classes again in mid January. A lot of people tell me that I'm ambicious, I say, if you don't try for Gold, its hard to win it.

I lifted on Sunday after digging out from another 9 in. of snow and man did it feel good to be back in the gym. Well not physically, I was completely exhausted by the end and hardly did any substancial lifting. But it was a start to what hopefully will be a great christmas break. I got my wisdom teeth out today so this sets me back in a sense that I can't lift for a few days, but I also won't be eating that much as I can't. Hopefully I can get back at by Thursday.
