Workouts past 2 weeks

Let me start off by saying, - I have not been Lazy, just busy. and i apologize for not updating. Not that there are hundreds of people counting on these daily updates, but i feel better when they are posted and i am using this as sort of a journal log of my own personal fitness goals.

Recent Achievements:
#1: I am currently under 200 lbs (post workout) and feel GREAT! i have been losing it slowly and changing my body so i can maintain the NEW ME indefinitely. I am going for long term results and life changing status, not just "Lose weight" - I've lost thousands of pounds over the last 15 yrs of my life, and am sick of it. So no more.

#2: This wasn't a goal of mine, but the other day one of my clients asked me how many dips I could do. I didn't know exactly, because I've always done sets of them or pyramids, but not since my Jr year in HS weight training class, have I maxed on dip reps. (back then it was 35 reps when I weighed about 165 lbs)
- On Monday April 20th - I did 50 consecutive DIPS - No rest. I was shocked.

#3: I can now constantly run a sub 7 min mile. My goal is still to get under 6:30. Give me 5-10 more lbs and I'll have it. As well as Grabbing the rim - That will come as the weight comes off too. - I am less than 1/2 an inch from the rim now.

#4: I completed the challenge 500 workout in 25:53. I will get it under 25 minutes, possibly next Monday, but that is a huge achievement for me as My goal initially was to get it under 30 min. Last Tuesday on the 21st I did it in Just Under 29 min. (See below as that is what I did today and have done many times over the last 4 months.)

#5: Eating habits: It's getting easier to make better choices. As I look in the mirror, as i work out and here the compliments of friends and family of the changes they see, it makes it so much easier to pass on the office snacks, let go of the Fast food, and skip the extra desserts my wife constantly makes. - I guess that's what it really comes down to. the Small choice we make each day, whether it be for food, exercise, attitude, or all of the above.
