And it begins...

OK....so I am finally getting a chance to write here...I mean...what else would I do at work...right??

So Janaina and I have been bitching about how much we suck at life for the past few weeks...namely in the excercise department. It's pretty funny how me and her have been on the same wavelength dating back to 97. We both became obsessed with the gym at the same time....

I was always athletic, captain if the basketball team type, my whole life. I just never was a guy anyone would turn their head to and say "Wow....look at that guys arms". Not that I want that or anything, but I often aspired to be. About 2 years ago I started working in a bar...where I was the only guy behind the bar.....picture COYOTE UGLY. I finally had found my inspiration since I couldn't ever quite get it from myself. Pathetic right? I had always tried to start a gym routine, but I ended up always sucking out within 3 weeks. I was finally determined and had a plan to boot. I started a work out my friend Bill reccomended called THE T SHIRT BODY WORKOUT. http://www.mensfitness.com/workout/88 It gave me a step by step guide of what to do, and eat.....and I followed it to a T. I started this in March of 07...and by May...you could really tell a difference. I had put on a bunch of muscle and was getting compliments on how I looked all the time. I will try to find some pictures to put up for comparison.

Over the course of that summer I was "nuts"...addictde to the gym. I didn't feel right if I didn't go. They you if you do something 30 days in a row it becomes a habit.....this became an additciton. I was eating so good as well too....never anything fried...EVER....my biggest problem like many others was my drinking. What can I say..I'm a drinker....

After the summer and for the following year, I still worked out quite a bit, but it wasn't as much as a priority as it once was. I had lost that EYE OF THE TIGER. It is only recently when I saw that I tipped the scales at 205 (the most I ever have) that I realized I needed to get back into my passion of working out. Hopefully this blog will keep me on track..

I've been working out hardcore again, and eating right for a week now. I am starting off with my 8 week program that got me into in the first place almost 2 years ago. It's good to mix up your routines, but I thought that starting with an old friend may bring back memories of obsessions of yore..and get my ass in gear. So far soo good....I can already feel it in my arms and back. The muscle I had gained is still there...now it's just getting rid of that 15 lbs of fat I had put on!! I weighed in at 205 on the 29th of December.....I will be weighing myself every Monday and updating my weekly progress....my ultimate goal is to be down to 190 by March 1st. 15lbs in 2 months?? No problem.....
