Background

When I Started: Sep 2007
HOW I STARTED:

I've been fat all of my life. I hit 335 in the summer of 07 and decided enough was enough. I wasn't going to add another "Obese American" death statistic to the boards. Started working out and eating far better and the weight started dropping. Turns out eating fast food crap burgers for 4-5 meals a week isn't good for you. Who knew? ;)

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love that there is zero chance of failure at fitness. It is the only thing where, if you keep at it, success is imminent. People spend their whole lives trying to be actors, writers, singers and never reach their goals. Fitness is not like that, as long as you keep trying, you will succeed.

I could list all of the things that happened in August/July to sidetrack me, but does it really matter? I mean, in the broad scheme of things, does knowing all of the minutiae that ****ed my schedule up and led me to say "You know what? This month is a loss, I'm going to sacrifice it and live it up for awhile." really help anyone? I doubt it, everyone who would bother to read this KNOWS the red herrings and sales pitches that draw someone away from their goals. Temptation is the reason why the Dark side of the Force enjoyed small victories, but the Light side won out in the end. Goin...

Bye-Bye Scale! (feels so weird)

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:15pm
I've finally hit the point that everyone told me I'd eventually hit. It still feels really odd. I'm at the point in my fat loss where the scale isn't going to help me any more. I've been out of the gym for 5 weeks due to a sinus infection that became a full blown chest cold that I ended up getting medication for because I was coughing so violently my throat was bleeding while I slept. Not good. I've been back at the gym for two weeks now with little to no loss in strength and I've worked off the 3lbs I gained during my extended rest. In my downtime, I kept an eye on my diet, but since I was ea...

Spring Break Protip

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:15pm
PROTIP: If your gym is in the shadow of Disneyland, find a new location for Spring Break. Took me almost an hour to get home today, on a drive of normally 20 minutes. I think this week is a good week to get reacquainted with my kettlebell, tire and sledgehammer.

mygame11
mygame11 Hey there, congratulations on your loss. May I ask how you like the casein protein? How do you take it? Sorry for the questions, just curious, as I have recently started taking the Iron Tek with micellar casein for the slower digestion. I have "heard" it to be good before bed? How do you fell about it? Anyhow, keep up the good work, and good luck to you in all that you do. Oct 21, 2008 5:40pm
