Losing Weight

Get Fit Slowly: "This morning, I hit another magical 10 pound increment. Since November 1, I’ve managed to drop 30 pounds. That’s 31 weeks and 30 pounds for those of you counting. And even though I complain a lot, I really couldn’t be much happier. I’m fitter, lighter, and healthier than I was 8 months ago–a statement that I haven’t been able to say in a very long time. I’m hoping to keep that streak going for a very long time to come." - This is the hardest thing in the world to do! I want to lose fat, not weight, and I've had a heckuva time doing it. I drop ten, then gain it back. Maybe Get Fit Slowly can help.

Supplements and Steroids

Champion Nutrition: "Champion Nutrition can assure you that we are NOT one of the 25% that were found to contain these banned substances. In fact Champion Nutrition is one of only 4 companies currently having our products tested by “Informed Choice” to assure our customers that our products remain free of these banned substances." - I like what Champion has done. They've submitted their products for testing so we know they're not contaminated with stimulants or steroids.
So, the big question for me is, where can I find the list of supplements found to contain stimulants or steroids? I take a bunch of different supplements every day, including products from Champion Nutrition.
Here's a USA Today article on the problem, it contains a list of supplement policies for major US sporting associations.

We're going to give this a try and see if it will help cut me down the fat on my body. The goal is to stay around 250-260, make it solid, and reduce the gut. In the end I may drop off to 230-240, and that'll be fine.

Training Sheet

Corrie Haffly: "At one of our old gyms, they offered free ugly forms that you could use to track your weight training routine, which were useful to track your progress as well as remember how much weight you were using on various exercises." - I've downloaded Corrie's sheet to give it a go. I keep a simple home spun sheet to track my progress, but this one is so much nicer.
I think I'm going to have to modify it a bit to fit my current routine, but it's a super nice start.
Thanks Corrie.
