Today's Weight: 213.8 lbs
Weight Loss Needed: 3.8 lbs
I think getting back to how I started this whole thing is having a positive affect. I had been around the 218-225 range for about a month, month and a half and then I realized I hadn't been eating the best. I started doing what I did when I first started this, and since monday, I've already lost 4 lbs. I'll take that any day of the week. I'm feeling really motivated, and I think I should have no problem hitting my 2nd weight loss goal of 210 by June 1st. Hopefully I can blow it out of the water and get a lot lower, but we'll take this one step at a time.
My softball league started up on monday and my team won via mercy 18-2. Last year we only won 2 games, I think we have improved a lot. I went 4-4 with a triple (which I don't know if I could have legged out last year), two doubles, and a single. I was a couple feet away from a HR twice, so I'll have to work on that.
My workouts have been going really good, I didn't get to the gym yesterday, but I did walk about 3-5 miles somewhere in there. I walked to class, then I walked to my friends house (farther away from my house) then walked all the way back home. I'm a little concerned about squatting though. I'm getting a slight pain from the top of my right buttocks check down my leg to the calf after squatting. I don't know if it is my form or if I just tweaked something but I think I will have to take some time off from squatting. I'll try a leg press and see if the pain is still there. If anyone else has experianced something like that and knows what is going on I'd appreciate some advice.
One last thing, I'm still going strong on the no alcohol. Maybe that is the reason why I am experiancing a good weight loss week. I hope everyone is doing well, let us know it's been quiet lately!!

Good work so far Jason. With regards to the pain in your leg, it sounds like your hamstrings. Maybe you should do some additional squat-stretches before putting any weight on the bar (that's where you get down in a deep squat with no barbell/weight, and just stretch out the hamstrings. It helps to push your knees out with your hands while you do this). That helps me. Also, it could just be you've been hitting too much weight too quick, in which case I would recommend a week off from squatting, then reduce the weight by 15-20 pounds when you start again. In the meantime, still squat stretch to maintain flexibility and to help rehab anything.
