Down another 17lbs!

Just wanted to say that I apologize for not posting more frequently. I have been really busy with sports reporting and my TV news shifts.

Since my last blog post, I have dropped another 17 lbs and currently tip the scales at 171lbs. I have run several 5Ks and am excited about my progress as I have dramatically cut down on my time from around 31 minutes from my first attempt to a time of 25:03 on the most recent one yesterday morning.

I also surprised my family by coming home this weekend. My mom and dad had no idea I was coming home but my sister was in on the secret. It was wonderful to see everyone again and a great feeling to field all the compliments on how I look.

Ate a little more than I should've this weekend, but that's what happens when you reunite with your family for a short weekend reunion.

It's Great to Be a Lean Gator!

My name is Michael Cadigan and I am currently a Junior at the University of Florida studying Telecommunication-News with the dream of becoming a sports broadcaster. Now that you know a little about it me, it is time to tell you about the purpose of this blog.

 I have struggled with weight in the past. Ever since the second grade, my weight continued to creep up until the point in late June when I weighed 228 pounds. I realized I had a problem and made it my goal to lose the weight and keep it off. I downloaded an app called Lose It! on my iPhone in order to count calories and the Nike running app to begin my transformation. After 3 and half months of counting calories, running, and weight lifting, I have dropped 40LBS so far.



I will continue to post about my ongoing transformation and the sprint to my goal weight. I'll include pictures, videos, links to workouts and articles and much much more. I encourage you to sign up for a free account on Lose It!.If you have any questions feel free to follow me on Twitter at @michaelcadigan.
