Aaaaalrighty. The Challenge is over! And it wasn't all that bad. To recap: My goals were to: - So I did ALL of the workouts except for one, when I was down with a stomach bug. - Eat at least 3000 kcal every day. This is probably my most flawed point. I never actually got around to counting my food calories. - I raised the weights most every week. For example I began my squats with 88lbs/40kgs and finished with 165.3lbs/75kgs. on the other hand, my bench presses haven't improved that much: 88lbs/40kgs vs. final 121lbs/55kgs. Life Goals: - I wasn't able or motivated to do one artwork every week. I just didn't find my interest too much. It's swelling up again by the end of the challenge and that is just a bummer. But I guess one can't win all the battles. At least I can't And I am content with the stuff I DID finish. - I WAS, however, able to uphold my no soda rules (except for sparkling water with lemon juice of course) except for ONE Homemade lemon-lemonade at a Steakhouse that one week. So all in all I think I did pretty well. By the end of this week I'll leave Moscow and move to Germany, where I hope to keep up the good groundwork I've laid out here so far! Thanks for all of you who read my thread and supported me! See you guys next time! Yours truly, Gnometosser. PS: My camera broke. So no pictures just yet :/
