Overall Goal: To be lean and healthy to look in the mirror one morning and be happy with the body I have built. To be able to play, wrestle, and enjoy everything my children offer.

I have always purchased muscle magazines and have been a long time subscriber to IronMan. I have been on many diets and yoyoed many times. The birth of our second child is what started the fire under my ass. I decided right then that I wanted to see her through life.
I started at a whopping 320 lbs with some wild ideas on how to lose the weight. At first I just cut the soda and french fries out of my diet. I instantly dropped 10-15 lbs. Then started the research I found out about low GI spiking foods and how that changes your bodies habits. I then hired a Nutrition expert and that changed everything. I still have a long ways to go and I recent injured my rotators cuff. I will reach my goal because not is not an option.
Why I Love It:
Just look at the classic Arnold pictures do you need another reason?
How I Stay Motivated:
I use to say my wife is my motivation but that's not enough. My motivation is a healthier better me the one I see in my head but not in the mirror.
Big_Jamesis inspired by timberwolf. Reason: "At 41 you are inspirational and a hero. Amazing work I hope I look as half as good as you at 41.

It is time for a transformation I am 34 years old and I am not taking no for an answer. You people reading this you can help me hit the goal. Don't be shy speak out give me some support.
Chef inspires me because he is real he looks like someone who has another job other then fitness. He works hard and it shows I think he is a great inspiration to anyone.

This holiday if its a workout day make sure you get that in ahead of the family gathering. Remember that hard work you are putting in the gym when you look at that food maybe that will help you with some portion control. My off day is Thursday (just worked out that way) but I am still going...
