A quick check in and progress updates....

I have plenty of excuses for not updating the blog regularly...thankfully I have had no excuses for missing any workouts.

For the past few months my workout schedule has been going very smoothly....
Monday - Legs , Abs
Tuesday - 4.5 miles run
Wednesday - Chest, Shoulders
Thursday - 4.5 miles run
Friday - Back, Shoulders, Biceps
Saturday - 6 miles run

Currently I am sitting at 167 ...about 8-10 pounds away from my super lean goal weight. Since I am going to India in December, I have started dropping weight and tightened my food intake ( see..I didnt say diet ).

Unlike last year where I was running 25-30 miles a week, I am running half as many miles and doing shorter workouts. I am more into fasting right now. It is so much easier to drop fat with fasting than over exercising.
I have dropped 4-5 pounds effortlessly just by fasting without adding extra exercise.

I still eat pretty much all foods... including donuts, ice-cream, pizza, pasta....just not all of them in one meal..he he..

A co-worker is going to India next week and I told him about the whole fasting thing a month ago. He start running on the treadmill and skipping lunch for 5 days a week. He has already lost 12 pounds!
He will obviously go back to his regular eating habits but this is much easier than going on a strict diet, exercising like a maniac..shunning all the foods you like..etc....etc..

So needless to see I am a huge proponent of fasting and as I have said before, I am a big fan of the http://theleansaloon.com/ blog. That blog has really changed my approach to weight loss and fitness. And the other forum happyeaters.net is also equally eye opening for me.

Anyway, here are some of the pics I took this AM...
