Just got caught up and read all of your posts. You are doing awesome. Ditto what others have said about the food. It really makes a difference. When I listened I lost weight lol. As for the cholesterol that is a huge accomplishments, congratulations. It should come down even more if you keep this up ;-) how is the HDL/LDL ratio?

I am sore! I did chest with a friend yesterday, and he made me lift heavier than I ever had!... That being said, I'm going to take the next month to work harder than I have been... and see if I can see some progress. I bitch and moan that i'm not seeing results anymore, then I read all the journals here and realize i'm not working nearly as hard as I could be!! I've been maybe giving it 75%... And I need to be working at 150%!!! Hope fully I will have the energy after work... If anyone doesn't see me doing cardio after I lift you have permission to come to Connecticut and slap me!! haha
 
I'd suggest trying to improve at least one thing you do every workout. Whether it's adding reps, or weights, or nailing the form for the exercise. Never (if at all possible) do the same workout twice. Keep up the good work.
