I had a few set backs.  Injuries and personal problems caused me to slack of some and I gained half of the weight back.  Well problems solved, and injuries healed.  I am back on the road towards earning the title. The injures were from pushing myself to hard too fast.  So this time I am going to take it slower.  I have lost five of the pounds that I gained back.  Got a new diet plan designed just for me and a new workout plan.  Hopeully I will be good to go within the next six months. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Parris Island here I come!!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current weight: 295&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till next time&lt;br /&gt;Richard&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28662764-115146299559938326?l=usmcrecruithopeful.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usmcrecruithopeful.blogspot.com/feeds/115146299559938326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28662764&amp;postID=115146299559938326' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28662764/posts/default/115146299559938326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28662764/posts/default/115146299559938326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usmcrecruithopeful.blogspot.com/2006/06/sorry-guys-had-problems-in-my-personal.html' title=''/><author><name>Richard</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05583069765638020602</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://www.gottawiz.com/images/Comics/Marvel/Incredible_Hulk/hulk.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28662764.post-115146277814904321</id><published>2006-06-27T21:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-06-27T21:46:18.160-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>May 31, 2006&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Richard and am planning on joining the Marine Corps.
