Background

When I Started: Feb 2006
HOW I STARTED:

I was much more active when I was younger. I have always trained for the sport or activity I was involved with. However since finishing school I have packed on an extra 60 lbs. while sitting at a desk job, and eating a little too well. I peaked at a weigh t of 239 pounds ( I probably hit 240 but I refused to look). I started working at Bodybuilding.com and have since lost 32 lbs while still adding muscle. Slowly reversing the damage I have done.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love the fact that someone like myself who has neglected their fitness for 7 years can transform their body back into great condition within a single years time.

My Workout Program View My Full Workout Program

My workout program continues to change through the year. cycle and repeat.

My first three months will be combination of lifting and cardio from Kris Gethin and jamie easons plans.

I may try a few 8 week programs to focus on muscle gain, and then switch it to fat burning all over again.

Leaving little room for uncertainty.

I have spent the two days before New Years Eve reading Kris Gethin's Body by Design and, the last three days after New Years Day following his plan. I have read and heard about many books, articles and plans for diet and lifestyle change. I have also seen and read countless inspirational transformation stories. One thing I have not come across is finding my own motivation to follow a plan that is focused on both exercise and diet. After reading each of the other programs in the past I have found myself left with so many questions about the specifics. Not only just missing the specifics, many o...

Keeping myself accountable.

I have set out this year to really drop my fat % and do it through "tiny changes". These tiny changes will be simple lifestyle improvements / adjustments - taking away bad habits / adding good habits and trying to be aware of how they affect my lifestyle. How have things been going so far? well - If this were a class I would give myself a D. I have missed the gym 14 times in the last month. All of these missed workouts were due to different reasons and lame excuses. I could have found a way to make it but, I didn't. It was easier to put it off and tell myself I would make it a differ...

Skyhigh55 Paul, Just a note on something that worked for me. I began using L-Carnitine during week 4 of my transformation. I believe it helped me achieve better results on reducing Body Fat through the rest of my program. It is suppose to burn body bat as energy first before utilizing your food as energy. I think it worked. I plan to get off of it at the end of my transformation. I will let you know the results. Good luck. May 20, 2012 9:35pm

admin LOL... yes, being a dad makes it harder to stick to your schedule, that's for sure! But then you realize that if you DON'T workout and eat right, you have less energy to play with your kids. So you have to prioritize as you know. Apr 15, 2009 3:54pm
