Starting stats and some more words

This morning I weighed in and I am at 200.4 pounds. That is the lightest I been in awhile. A fair amount of that drop from 230 is fat but I know some of it is muscle. I was going to do all these measurements of the body but choose just to measure my waist since that is where the majority of what I need to lose is. I measured so the tape was right over my belly button. I choose not to measure everything else because my number one goal is to lose fat right now. Once I leave the leaning out phase I will start to track everything else. The rest of the progress indicators will be based on scale weight and performance in the gym.

So my current measurements are I stand at 5ft 6inches tall, I weigh 200.4 pounds and my waist measured 41 1/2 inches. My weight goal is to get in the range of 170-180. My waist goal I am not sure of. I just don't know where it should be at so I am just going to track it with my weight. Most of my indicators of success will be based on gym performance.

I came up with a rough schedule for what I will be doing as far as workouts. Its not set in stone. I have a problem with being flexible not only physically but mentally as well at times. I can get a bad attitude a times if I can't do something the way I want to. That is why I am not setting anything in stone in case something happens where I have to adjust. That way I am not saying to myself "well screw it then." Its stupid logic I know it but for some reason I do that to myself sometimes.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be my main full body strength training workouts with some type of hard conditioning after the weights. Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday will be the yoga workouts. I will also walk and stretch/foam roll everyday. I am already thinking of ways to add on to this. I was thinking of doing extra movements that I am weak at right along with the stretching/foam rolling. For the first week or two I may not worry about this but after that I want to do some kind of combination of core, shoulder lateral rotators, hip medial rotators, and hip extension work along with the stretching since this is my weak areas. It won't be anything super heavy or exhausting, just enough to build that "mind-muscle" connection and give them some more volume.
