Well, I'm digging the method of intermitent fasting. The problem is, that I always try to "make-up" my calorie expenditure by overeating the next day a la cheat days from the Slow-Carb diet that I used to follow. Though I am still seeing some moderate weight loss from IT, I need to do a better job of monitoring my meals portions and content in order to avoid overingestation of calories when I end my fast.
Still, I'm excited about the way I look and feel. I'm trying to lose another 10-15 pounds over the course of the next 4 months, so I think my goal is definitely reasonable.
Exercise is going extremely well. My push-up limit has increased from 1 rep to 7 full repitions over the course of the last month and a half or so. My push-ups are improving as well I think. I've basically just been increasing the amount of weight I lift to where I am only able to complete 5-8 reps during a set and aiming for 5 sets total. So far, the results have been amazing and I can tell that I'm building up a ton of core strength.
Come summertime/law school when I will once again have access to a gym, I'm excited to see how far my workouts will go. I'll add in leg presses this weekend to my gym routine and perhaps another lifting exercise as well - shoulder presses and/or dips would probably be a good addition to my program.
