Background
When I Started: Sep 2007
HOW I STARTED:
I was sick of being over 220 pounds and didnt feel great about myself..I didnt look that bad but....One day I just got up and ran around the block and then i started running everyday and lost weight..Then the weight lifting began, and i felt like i was in high school again lifting like i did for football..Please read my full story in my blog.
WHY I LOVE IT:
The best feeling is the way i fel about myself..I wanted to do this for 8 years and now i did...I love the feeling i get from working out..I workout 5 days a week and i am hooked on it.i am 30 years young and am in the best shape of my life...

The Fire is Burning once Again...
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 9:52pm For the past year I have been getting myself back in shape.. The past few month I have been trying to gain weight, never thought that would happen.. I never lost the passion or motivation to hit the weights, but recently I am feeling that “addicting” feeling once again. I am back to going to bed and looking forward to waking up and hitting the gym.. I have been sleeping in a lot lately and going to the gym later in the day.. Now I am getting to sleep earlier and waking up bright and early to get there. I am back to lifting 5 days a week and lifting hard. ...
Motivation For your succes..
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 9:52pmNumber one thing and most important thing you must remember.. IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME…. You have to devote yourself to it everyday…. Week by week it will get better…. It will get easier… It may get addicting = good thing, in my opinion. Its ok to slip once and a while. Just make sure to grab back on… Have a cheat meal, once a week. Eating right all week, earns you that pizza on Sunday while watching the eagles, Go Birds.. If you are a drinker, DON’T drink…..Simple as that… I gave up going to bars for 4 months…… Worth it… The only thing you should be drinking is water… Do not let anyone...

Hahaha it is a little ****ed up. I wasn't sure it was you at first. You looked familiar but I didn't know where I knew you from, until I came back on here. Keep up the good work buddy.

I just read your blog and it reminded me a lot of myself.I played Football freshman year of college but now I'm done, and I've gained way too much weight. Everything you wrote was a real big motivation kick for me. Congratulations and keep at it.
