Ate a lot this weekend and had a wonderful time. As of 12:00 pm today (after enjoying the buffet breakfast of course!), I'm back on track. The goal for the next 12 weeks is to stick to the diet and workout and achieve the phyiscal and workout goals I have set for myself.

Will be going to the gym this evening to lift and do some light cardio. Updated pics and measurements will be entered into the log this Friday.

Attempted to workout yesterday. I was able to do squats and deadlifts. After my 3rd set of shoulder presses, I felt dizzy and extremely tired. In addition, my stomach was rumbling and felt really weird from all the stuff I ate over the last 4 days. Decided to nix the workout yesterday and use today as another resting day. Will start Week 4 of the workouts tomorrow. Goal today is to try to eat as clean as possible (hopefully the rest of the junk I ate will be out of my system by tonight/tomorrow morning).

W/ regard to my diet and cardio. I'm going to follow Shadow's diet ( w/o the fruit, low calorie dressing and crackers) and HIIT program when I do cardio. I'm going to start with Week 1 for the HIIT. On days I lift, the diet will be a little heavier with the carbs. I'm cutting fruit and dairy (including soy) out of my diet. I'm also going to start keeping track of my water intake and supplements in my log.
