About me:
---------------------------
I'm an architecture student at a great school.

After trial and error, managed to shed the pounds for real.

What I'm doing:
---------------------------
Portion control still a problem.
HIIT 2x/week
Starting weights 1x/week

I take stairs over escalator and elevator ALL THE TIME (I climb 6 sets of stairs minimum for the day at the metro 2-3floors?).

Extra note:
---------------------------
I finally understand what being fit means! And I actually love running now thanks to HIIT.

Goal: lose the belly fat! My problem area.
First goal: 120lbs - MET
2nd goal: 116lbs - MET
3rd goal: 112lbs ish with more muscle definition

Realizing I can't change the way my body stores fat and have a noticeable belly during the day (pic was morning with light breakfast after workout) I will work on making a stronger core to counter the pooch a bit

Dropped 1 pant size since last year (stable weight)
Dropped 2 pant sizes since mid-Summer after Greece (pastries=weight gain)

I'm 26 years old, I have a wonderful wife and a beautiful daughter.

I graduated from US Air Force basic training and am now at tech school. I will be doing PT 3 times a week and working out in the gym 3 days as well.

My goal is to maintain my weight while burning more fat and gaining strength.
