My Road to abs. End of Year Update.

Alright, so here's an update for today. In September I was 163lbs, carrying a LOT of fat. I have since then dropped 18lbs and am now at 145lbs. I achieved this fat loss by incorporating proper nutrition, the Max-OT weight training program(http://www.simplyshredded.com/the-max-ot-workout-a-full-and-in-depth-review.html), cardiovascular training, and tabata protocol. On the last week of October I got employed and have been working a lot. This month I've started to work full-time so it's really hard for me to make time for meals and gym. My Gym pass expired in November and I was out of gym for about 3-4 weeks. I then renewed my gym pass this month and just got back in on December 18th. Now moving along, the progress pictures shown below are over a period of 96 days(September 26th-December 30th). Please excuse the undies. Let's be mature here.

SEPTEMBER 26th - OCTOBER 15th

And this last picture is from today, 

DECEMBER 30th, 2011

The routine I had looks like this:

Sunday - Back

Monday - Rest

Tuesday - Shoulders & Traps

Wednesday - Arms

Thursday - Legs

Friday - Rest

Saturday - Chest

*I do abs and cardio whenever I get the chance. Abs will be trained once to twice a week. Cardio will be done 4-5 times a week light-moderate

I'm now at 145lbs, lost 18lbs from September 26. Still trying to get leaner. I'm just really happy that I can now see my abs. I don't get embarrassed from having a bloated stomach that comes past my chest when I go out anymore. No one believed me when I told them I was fat because they didn't see what I looked like behind a shirt. I was too ashamed of the amount of fat I've put on when I let myself go. But now I don't have to worry about that. I'm happy with my results and my girlfriend is happy with my results. That's all that matters really. :) The only supplement I'm taking right now is Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Cookies & Cream Flavor(the best I've had so far), Carbo-Gainer from NOW, and multi-vitamins that I get from costco. I did take the green-tea extract fat burner from september 26-november 11th(when my gym pass expired). But I no longer use it anymore. Well there you go, that's my progress.

P.S. Another way of getting myself motivated was that I didn't want to be this guy.
