So I posted this in my 1000th post thread but 32 days into my lifestyle change, I'm down 15.4 pounds.  Very excited and motivated to keep going!

I'm so results oriented, just not with golf, thankfully.

No arguing with results. That's a lot of weight in 32 days! Just don't get discouraged when it starts to slow down a little. It happens, and you just gotta push through it.

Well, I have a lot of excess baggage weight! :-$

But, yeah, I know it'll slow down.  I think if I start feeling stronger and start seeing my body look stronger in the mirror, it'll soften the blow.

Yeah it comes off quick at first, but if you stay with it...it just keeps melting off. Just at a slightly slower pace. And the mirror is your best friend when you're getting in shape. Both as a motivator and for reassurance.

Yeah, I caught myself looking at the mirror on Wednesday after my workout and thought to myself that my gut looked smaller.

Of course, because I'm impatient, at the time, I wished it was even smaller but I feel I have to be realistic about these things.

I also think that taking 2.5 weeks off from working out and running on the treadmill slowed down the weight loss train so I'm excited to see how much I lose in the next 30 days without skipping workouts or treadmill runs.

If it makes you feel any better...the impatience never ends haha. I look in the mirror and wanna put on 15 lbs of muscle and lose 6-7 more lbs of fat by next week haha

Based on the image you posted, I think I'd be happy with having anywhere from 10-20% body fat so I have a long way to go, haha.

Where would you say you are on the body fat scale?

Gangsta!

I think to myself where I'm at, I would probably be happy at 12-13% and wouldn't concentrate on fat loss like you are but I've been told working out and being in good shape is like an addictive drug.  Haha

I'm not really focused on fat loss right now. I've upped my cals to 2,000 in preparation to put on some muscle...but won't start bulking until after I recover from my Dental surgery. Probably around February 1st.

I was focused on it when I was closer to 20% in early October haha

Good luck with the dental surgery.  Hope it's not anything major.

I figure I'd have to lose another 100 pounds to get to 20% which I don't think is likely for this year, haha.

Getting my wisdom teeth pulled, bottom two are extremely impacted and require removing a portion on my jaw on both sides, which then require bone grafts. It's a great January so far lol.

He said he gets about one of these a year...so it isn't that uncommon...but not that common either. I'm one of the lucky ones.

I'm not concerned about that tho...4-5 days and I should be back to work.

Back to work as in your job or back to work as in being able to work out?

Just finished workout:

Dumbbell presses 40 each arm, 3 sets x 12 reps
Shoulder presses 40 each arm, 2 sets x 12 reps, 1 set x 8 reps
Tricep extensions 20 total, 3 sets x 12 reps

Ran on the treadmill and burned 476 calories.

    • I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings but one or two are reasonable. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swings at all and have tendency to freeze over the ball after address. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

    • I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

    • As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
