When I started out with NF in December I made a pact with myself that I would actually set goals; for the last few years my time at the gym was measured mainly in vague "as long as I keep doing something and I'm sweaty and tired by the time I leave, that's good enough for me." I decided it was time to get serious, though, so the initial goals I set were as follows: 1. Get down to a 30" waist by Valentine's Day (yes, I was going to see a special friend) 2. Get waist back down to 28", about where it was in high school a mere 10 years ago 3. Deadlift my body weight 4. Bench press my aforementioned special friend... he's kind of a small guy 5. Do a pull up Obviously as I check these off my list I add new ones. I'm happy to report I accomplished #1 and I'm getting awfully close to #s 3 and 4, but I just busted out my tape measure and... 27.5" waist! WHAT?? Granted, I haven't eaten much today so my tummy is empty but still... dudes, I am so pumped. For reference, when I made these goals I was sitting at about 31.5". SO. PUMPED.
