Picture Day. 1 month

I can't believe it has been four weeks already. It seems like I just started working out.

Well, here is the original inspiration pic:
There is my belly and lack of muscle.

Here is this morning's four week progress picture:
Four weeks of healthy diet and training.
I can really tell the fat from my middle is melting away. I'm not sure if I've increased muscle size or just toned. Right now I weigh right at 165 pounds. I'd like to stay around 170 and gain some muscle as I continue to lose fat.  I'm telling you, I can see a major difference in my body that nobody else (since they never see me shirtless) can see. Even my face is thinning out. CONFESSION TIME: I originally grew a beard to hide that my jawline was disapearing. I blamed it on age, but I'm sure subcutaneous fat (fat just under the surface of my skin) had a lot to do with it. When I'm comfortable enough, I'm gonna lose the beard (last time I did that, I regretted it...the lack of chin line again).

My current workout is:

Monday: Weights, bodyweight exercises and some isometrics upper body done as a circuit.
Tuesday: Run
Wednesday: Weights, bodyweight exercises and some isometrics legs done as a circuit.
Thursday: Run
Friday: Weights (including some slow motion), bodyweight exercises and some isometrics back and upper body done as a circuit.
Saturday: Yoga (1 hour)
Sunday: off

My dietary changes: Bread at only 2 meals per week. Nothing containing high fructose corn syrup or the word "sugar" as an ingredient, meat sources from poultry, eggs and oatmeal every morning for breakfast, almost exclusively drinking water (up to a gallon a day) with the exception of 1 cup of coffee (black) every afternoon etc etc etc...
