Outlining Goals.

With today being Sunday and a day off of training, it's a good time to take a look at my goals for this upcoming week.

This upcoming week-- that is, Monday the 26th to Sunday the 2nd-- is the final week of November and officially the start of December. Now, post-Thanksgiving I'm carrying one or two extra pounds of body that isn't for function. I blame the holiday celebrations for that... Despite the fact that Thanksgiving sucked, I got sick from the turkey, and there was your cliche American family holiday screaming match. Anyway, I haven't weighed in yet. I'll be weighing in tomorrow morning and figuring out where to go from there.

This week I'll be experimenting with caloric intake a little. I'm going to see what happens when I try to go with 1400 calories a day for one week. In the coming posts, I'll be making note of energies levels, lifting totals, and all areas that will be subsequently affected in positive/negative fashions.

Completely unrelated to fitness goals, I also decided I absolutely must make time for reading once again. I'm now enforcing a "one-book-per-month-bare-minimum" policy. So, I need to read one book in the next week. I don't even care if it's just a freaking board book. It's tragic how little time I've made for reading in the past few months.

So, breaking it down...

Goals for 11/26- 12/2:
1400 calories a day for one week... No cheating!
By Sunday, December 2nd, weigh in at 125 pounds.
Minimum of three (3) "strength days" in the gym.
Read one (1) book.
