Subject: Hi everyone

I've been good so far today. Had turkey slices for breakfast, tostada without beans or shell for lunch plus one bottle of water. Had a little cream and Torani syrup for a snack just now.

Tried to workout this morning and didn't get very far. I'm disturbed that my body seems unable to lift the weight I was lifting not that long ago. It worries me. For the longest time I was increasing the weights quite often and getting stronger and stronger. I've gotten to the point where I feel weaker. Getting weight stuck on my chest and unable to summon the strength to lift it off, that sort of thing. It is kinda scary.

I think my lousy diet all through July may have something to do with it. Hormones may be working against me too, I couldn't say for sure, but it is very unusual.

Anyway I have set some new goals for August. I'm aiming for 8 pounds off, (at some point during the month I want to his that low, my body tends to gain back once it hits a new low, so if I'm not there by the end of the month but hit it sooner that is fine).

I'm also aiming for 70 pounds on the free weight bench press. (I'm doing 60 now, only lately I've been pooping out at about 5 reps). I'm aiming for 120 pounds on the pull down. Can do 90 to 100 pounds now.

I'm also aiming to stick to induction for two solid weeks without cheating. It has been too long since I've been that good.

July was an odd month for me. I didn't lose any weight, didn't hit any new lows, didn't really try that hard to accomplish anything new. But I did work out, and in doing so managed to keep from gaining a lot back (in spite of all my cheating). That feels really GOOD to me. Funny how that works. Just knowing that I can eat reasonably normally and still KEEP the weight off is a great feeling. Of course, I would have done better if I had stuck to plan and worked out, but one out of two isn't too bad.
