Weighed myself yesterday - 169 lbs. I'm dropping on average about 2 lbs a week, which was my goal. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed it's not a little more, but I guess I'm outside the 10% range ("don't drop more than 10% of your weight a week") so I should be fine. 

I've noticed no adverse effects in terms of my energy or sleeping - I'm at a pretty high energy level and my body isn't starving for energy. Seems about 1700 net calories target is a good number for me (according to my calorie tracker, I average about 1300 net calories per day). 

As far as workouts go, my morning MWF workouts are boxing workouts, while TR are pilates (reformer and cadillac, not mat). I've been supplementing that with stair runs in the evening, along with another 1 - 1.5 hour workout in the evening (whatever I want to do - usually I do more of the boxing workouts). 

I'll say that boxing workouts are my favorite - it feels so good to hit something, and it wears me out significantly faster than any other exercise. 

Oddly enough, my sleeping has become more irregular lately - I've had to take an Advil PM to go to sleep every night. Not sure what that root cause is, since my body is completely wiped. 

Of course, pushing myself hard during the week has caused many ailments to start flaring up. The aforementioned shin splints are the most painful, and the one which affects my ability to exercise the most. Besides that, I'm in a constant state of soreness. Standing up and picking things up is always a pain. Getting out of bed in the morning is one of the hardest things I do on a daily basis. But it feels great!

My shoulder and back have started complaining a bit (not from pulling, but from just being overworked). Time to hit the roller!
