Never thought being big(fat) was a positive thing growing up, it messed with me mentally all the time. When I was middle school it was discovered I graduated from having asthma to high blood pressure, so not only was I fat obese I had to take meds for high blood pressure.before going to my 1st jr high dance.... Of course me not knowing any better I still didn't take care of myself I thought life was promise.I was a kid...As time went on I would hear you are going to be a medicine the rest of your life or else you will be dead anyday because of your eating habits and life choices. At first I felt sorry for myself just getting worse.....ballooning up to almost 400lbs in the summer of 2005. I saw a photo of me and hated what I saw and how I felt. SO how was I going to be respected and loved if I didn't have those feelings for myself....
Thru God's and His grace only I grew up I stop feeling sorry I picked up my tools and got to work in the gym and kitchen. I changed my eating habits, my workout habits, just my life in general. God put me here for a reason and I know it isn't to be a failure.
So I continue to set a new standard daily and seek out to meet it everyday. This is my rags to riches story, its in motion and it only gets better. Grab your protein snacks and enjoy!
Why I Love It:
Knowing where I begun and where I am headed by being discipline,staying focused Its Exciting
How I Stay Motivated:
Knowing that I am not where I want to be and knowing that if God wakes me up in the a.m. I have to keep pushing my work isn't complete!
My long term goal is to educate and help others learn to become healthier and more fit individuals, thru the grace of God I will and much more, But I have to be living proof 1st, so I am going thru the storm.
Today's focus in the gym was working on width of my lats, I am experimenting with volume training just for a few weeks to shocked the body, anyway the original plan was to do 8 sets of 8 on wide grip pulldown. That was the Original plan but, as I thought my goal is to be better than the day...
the legs are looking good. Ur getting some good results. the new gym well I can't find any of the machines that I want . It is laid out so crazy and again the guys just look at me funny cuz I lift so heavy. But they stay out of my way. One guy said there are 9 guys in the gym and the only chick is lifting more that me. ha ha so i said sorry dude but i am having a weak day and he said great. I just had to laugh.
not sure how i feel about the new gym as i work so much and hardly ever get to go. also i can't find anything. i am dealing with it though. i hurt my back and have a pinched nerve at the base of my spine. so it holds be back a bit.
hi. man look at the size of your guns. you look awesome. i miss training. work is consuming my life. i have about 1 more month and i will be back at it hard. transferred to a new gym. needed a change of scenery. how is your summer going?
Well, I haven't really set a goal date for anything. I mean, I'd love to be 8% by september but if it could happen sooner I wouldn't complain. For now though, I think I've finally gotten the rhythm of this 30 minutes of cardio post afternoon workout everyday thing. If I add it to my morning workouts that would be kinda sweet too but I'm going to wait a while before I add that.
I know the feeling. I'm over here actually doing cardio out the wazoo I feel. Eating and training are good though. He he, so if June 11th is the next step to 12% bodyfat, where you at now?
