Week 30 Weigh-In

Alright, get this: Week 30!  I NEVER thought I'd make it this far.  It's kinda crazy.  Watching sodium intake has helped a lot, it seems - I'm now down to 202.2 pounds.  Total lost thus far: 57.8 pounds.  I'm hoping to hit my goal of 60 pounds lost by the end of August.  Not bad, considering my original Lose It projection was for me to hit 200 pounds right on Christmas Eve.

I've now taken a liking to My Fitness Pal.  I think Lose It! is much more user-friendly and easier to navigate, but My Fitness Pal has more options, reports more things, and has such an expansive food listing that I've taken to using it now. 

The Starting Strength program I've started.... well, I haven't been following it very well.  Haven't been able to make it to the gym with the demands of work lately, although I'm shooting for tomorrow morning.  Guys that do curls or - God help me - BENCH PRESSES in the squat rack really piss me off and make it harder for the hour I have to spare to fit all my exercises.

That being said, I was able to finally leg press a little over twice my bodyweight.  No big feat, honestly, but it made me feel much better.  418 pounds.  Still attempting to get to the land of being able to do a single pull-up without assistance.  Started about three weeks ago needing 76 pounds of assistance to do one, now can do one with 40 pounds.  It doesn't matter where you start.  It only matters that you move forward.
