Personal Progress Journal - End of Week 20
I am so excited about my progress!  It's five months since I was standing in front of the same barbecue grill last summer.  I have made truly huge changes so far.  I've almost met my goals of losing 40lbs and cutting my body fat in half.  However, I still don't feel like I have really accomplished my max as far as getting my body into top shape.  Since the contest has a flexible ending date, I have decided to continue my MaxFormation for another six to eight weeks to reach these further goals:

1) Loose a bit more body fat.  I'm still too flabby for my liking.
2) Firm up my abs.  I would like to see the beginning of my six-pack.
3) Build-up my muscle mass.  I would like to see more muscle in the chest, shoulders,
    arms and back.  My final weight might be 195 at 10-12% body fat.

My blood pressure is still at normal.

I will ride a spin-a-thon on January 1.  This is up to six 45 minute spinning classes back-to-back.  I feel I have the endurance to do two of them.

My 4 1/2 year old daughter sees my progress.  She no longer calls me Fred (Flintstone) but now has given me a new nickname - Johnny Bravo, a muscular cartoon character she likes.  My wife is seeing the progress too.  She has started to improve her health and figure after having given birth to our son a year ago.
