Background

When I Started: Aug 2007
HOW I STARTED:

I used to workout all the time in HS for sports. I was always a big, strong guy, but never fit. I went to college in 2000, had a great year, but knew something needed to change. That summer I lost over 100 lbs. But living the ultimate college experience didn't help with maintain my weight lost, and I put all of it back on, plus an additional 30 lbs. Last year, I it came to a point where I had to make a choice - either except my body the way it was, or change it to the body I always desired. I chose the latter. Since August of 2007, I lost 118 lbs, and now I want to shape, transform, and mold my body into a peice of work I, myself am proud of.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Bodybuilding is one of the few things that you have total control over in your life. You and only you dictate the success you're going to have. If you work hard, you'll get results, maybe not the ones you want, or get them when you want, but that's just something else to strive for.

My Motivation Program

I think about all of the people over the years, and even those now who tell me that I can't do it. All of the ones with smart ass comments. My desire to show those who doubt that I do what I say I'm going to do, and my body will be my proof.

This post may anger a few people, but oh well. Every year about this time, everyone and their momma is ready to workout and be healthy. You see people buying all of this healthy food (or what they seem to think is healthy), buying all of these supplements, and not to mention the increased number of gym memberships. Now all this is great; if you see your goals all the way through. I hate it when someone who I haven't seen dot the door of the gym in months tries to tell me what I should be doing. I'm a very even tempered person, but even for me it takes a lot to not tell them to shut up! it's gr...

about a month ago, I met a trainer at m gym.  I was talking to her a bit about what I wanted to do, and maybe even compete.  She'd seen how hard I work at the gym, and offered to help with my diet and such.  She changes things around with my marcos, did my bodfat, etc.  When I started with her, I was at 293lbs, 21%BF (I had already lost 16lbs on my own before this).  I was surprised with the BF; I was sure it'd been much higher.  I met with her again yesterday.  After just under a month, I'm now down to 15% BF,...

10/11/10; how things have been going

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:16pm
it's been awhile since I've blogged anything.  Things have been going well.  I've been hitting the gym hard 6 days a week, and recently have started to get my diet back on track.  For the first time, I've started writing everything down I eat, good or bad.  It's really helped me stay on track because I have to be accountable.  Right now I'm just keeping track of my calories and protein.  I'm trying to get in at least 300g of protein a day.  On Mondays I'm taking in 2800 calories, Tuesday and Wednesday 1800 calo...
