So it's been a month since I celebrated my 3 month milestone of completing the RTP system. Today was to show some abs and reach 9% fat, but unfortunately could not reach my goal. I was off by 2% fat and clearly my abs look like they want to come out, but still a little bit shy. As I stated in my last post, I missed out on 2 workout days due to an unforeseen change in schedule and the other was for medical reasons. Also the author of this workout plan reached ab status after 136 days - so I believe my goal may have not been realistic to begin with and by looking at what has to be done (lose all my fat around the abdominal area) is not easy and considered the hardest area to target. I guess I like to think big....

Even though, I may have lost 5 pounds of fat, decreased my fat percentage by 3% and increased my lean body mass by 3 pounds, I believe I could have done a lot better this passed month. In perspective, I did indeed indulge on the weekends, my meals overall were all over the place and my last week was a disaster by missing 2 scheduled workouts. I believe this last month, I kinda sucked and will learn from it going into my next month...

Anyhow,  looking over what I have accomplished thus far along with the challenges I faced in the passed 4 months, I believe I can show some abs by day 164. That's in 50 days. Why day 164? Well, it's my birthday and I wouldn't want anything less than a new set of abs.. =) So I believe this is a realistic date to work with and look forward to my birthday gift. =)
