Another month bites the dust, so it’s time for a goal update:

1. Drop 50 pounds

After losing 14 pounds in January, my weight loss tailed off in February.  I still lost 6 pounds, bringing my total to 20.  Only 30 more to go.  I’ll blow this one away!

2. Benchpress and Deadlift 300 pounds

I’m able to benchpress 235 and deadlift 225 pounds, 8 reps each.  If I stick to my routine, I’ll hit this one, too.

3. Post more frequently

FAIL!  While I surpassed my January post total, this is still only the tenth post for February.  But it’s the shortest month.  Yeah, that’s the reason.  I need to kick myself in the ass.

4. Fund my 401(k)

On track, due to direct deposit.

5. Read a new book each month

I read a collection of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories.  I’m open to suggestions for March.  Any ideas?  Leave a suggestion in the comments.

6. Run 3 miles

The bad weather has curtailed my walking program, but I’ve shoveled a lot of snow lately.  Spring is coming.  I’ll get back on track.

Check back for more updates!
