12 lbs in 12 weeks (Week 5)

I had a good weigh-in on Monday: 164 lbs, which is 2 lbs below my target for this week (166 lbs):



To remind those of you on a weight-loss program: the important thing is the overall trend (which should be heading in a downward direction), not the value for any particular week.  With the vagaries of one’s diet, it’s hard to know what your actual weight is today, but you can say something about your weight over time.

I have been doing both cardio exercises and weight training at the gym, several times per week.  This week I did 18-20 push-ups, around 40-55 lbs for bench press, and 20-30 lbs for overhead press.  I can feel the difference in my triceps already.
