I feel a lot better at 147...still working on losing 15-20 more pounds! Or at least getting my body fat down!

Goal (Long):
I want to learn to run a 7 to 8 minute mile. I quit smoking last Nov. 2007 because my mother had throat cancer. I have never ran anything in my life. Even in high school I was in the parking lot smoking - not always cigrettes either. I have stopped and started many fitness programs. None of them has ever included running or many other things that most of us hate doing~like pull-ups, push-ups and sit-ups, which I am up to 125-200 per day 5x's a week (the sit-ups). I guess I should note that I made this final fitness life change on Jan. 4, 2008 and I starting a 5K training program on March 3, 2008 and I can now run/jog 3 miles in 36 minutes, that's a good starting point, right??. Oh well~YEA ME!! I also lift 4-6 days per week too. I guess I will have to decide if I'm going to be a runner or lift iron! I don't think I have ever seen a sucessful marathon runner who also lifts to be a body builder. Hummm....Well anyways for now I feel very high and well balanced on the program I have been doing since Jan. I am still working on clean eating for life (just so confusing but I am learning) I just keep pushing myself and telling people my story!!!
I think protein is a personal preference depending on your goals. I use Whey Isloate immediately after a workout. I drink Whey Casein at night before bed. I drink Whey protein during the day as a meal supplement.I think protein is a personal preference depending on your goals. I use Whey Isloate immediately after a workout.

LOL ok standing in the mirror may defiantely work for me. I am back at it cause I bought some new outfits and made sure they were a couple sizes too small. If I want to wear them I have no choice!
Your looking pretty good! I haven't been doing dealifts for a while..but i am thinking about getting back into powerlifting..I miss lifting heavier than the guys. I have went off track with my dieting and gained some weight back so the tummy situation still sucks! Looking for the moto to get back into it.
wow your making progress some time if your look at it every day it seem that your getting now where. Have not saw some for 4 month they walked right by me did not know who I was. now that is a great feeling
You have done a super job to this point & if you wish to get rid of more bodyfat & also get into great shape I suggest you check out the 12 week Body for Life program. It's a complete body transformation program that gives you a great nutrition plan as well as weightlifting & cardio routines. My wife (bodyspace: judimax) went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6 & I lost over 50 lbs going from 36 to 10% bodyfat in just 12 weeks with the BFL program. Let us know if you would like more info.
