Overall Goal:  Short-term, to hit 12% bodyfat by 6/1/2010. Overall, to burn the fat, gain some quality muscle, and making clean-eating and consistent exercise a LIFESTYLE.

High School:
When I Started:
Oct, 2007
How I Started:
Bought a few weights after high school and was amazed by the professional bodybuilders in the magazines. Since then I've been on-and-off for years, but never really serious. Now, I'm comitted to making this a lifestyle.
Why I Love It:
It gives me more confidence and makes me feel energetic, healthy, ALIVE!
How I Stay Motivated:
Main inspiration is my daughter - I want to be able to keep up with her and be around for her for as long as possible! Other than that, I read a few mags, and check out the progress of the amazing folks here on Bodyspace and also spend a LOT of time on Bodybuilding.com. One insanely cool e-book I've got has been my inspiration for quite a while: Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto. If you don't have it, GET IT. the most thorough and informative book on nutrition and fat-burning I've ever read.
BB Accomplishments:
So far, being able to still lose bodyfat and drop inches off my waist while sidelined due to a rib injury. Nutrition really IS powerful!

May 2003, 158 lbs. 2-month Comparison
158 lbs, not sure about bodyfat here, but it's gotta be at least 26% or higher. Waist was about 37" I think.
A 2-month comparison from the front. I can see the waist dropping a bit, a little more definition overall, and the chest is starting to look like, well... a chest! But apparently that damn belly fat wants to hang around a little longer. Pleased with the results so far, gonna take it up a notch for t ...

Goals:
Main Goal:
Live Healthier
Goal (Overall):
Short-term, to hit 12% bodyfat by 6/1/2010. Overall, to burn the fat, gain some quality muscle, and making clean-eating and consistent exercise a LIFESTYLE.
Goal (Long):
For almost 20 years, I've exercised and played around with "proper" nutrition - for about 3-6 months at a time. Read lotsa books, got lots of advice, knew exactly what to do, but never stayed consistent because I always took things to the extreme and then burned out. Believe it or not, fracturing my rib in the gym in Feb '08 was the thing that made me decide to do it RIGHT, and to do it consistently from here on out. There's nothing like being on the sidelines for almost TEN weeks, desperately wanting to get back in the gym, but knowing I couldn't do a damn thing until I healed. I decided the one thing I could control was what I put in my mouth every day, so I dedicated myself to eating six meals a day, one day at a time, drinking plenty of water, and measuring the results. Over the course of 8 weeks, JUST eating well, I dropped 2 inches off my waist and lost 5 pounds of fat. Zero exercise. I'm excited to be able to exercise again, but I'm disciplining myself to go slowly, breathe properly, feel each rep, and use the small weights as long as I need to in order to re-gain my strength and build a body I can be proud of, and more importantly, one that'll last me a good long time on this earth and allow me to be around as my little girl grows up. It ain't about the weight - it's all about the composition!
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
I compete against myself. I could clear an auditorium pretty quickly if I got on stage in a thong.

Well, reached my first plateau of this latest phase - my waist hasn't budged in almost 4 weeks! It's definitely a chance to tighten things up, run a comb through my nutrition program and re-double my efforts in the workouts. Injured my right elbow-area about a month and a half ago, so have had...

Just watched your video on what's in your fridge. And yes, I made it through it all. ;) Pretty interesting stuff there. I was wondering where you get those nutrition logs from? They looked pretty professional. I usually just use a notebook but it gets sloppy and disorganized quickly.

Thanks for the compliments once again. I love this P90X so much I went and bought the P90X Plus as well. Doesn't my wife look buff/great? She is just killing this thing. Sometimes I look at her like, "Who are you? Hi, hows it going? I'm JT." Lol.
