Background

When I Started: Jun 2009
HOW I STARTED:

I got up...hauled my ass to the gym, and determined to never quit! add me as a facebook buddy.... http://www.facebook.com/#!/bret.carter

WHY I LOVE IT:

I like the challenge of molding myself into something even better; I like the flood of emorphines; I like the occasional comments and compliments; and I like to be "that guy" they talk about at the gym who is a radical gym rat!

balanc created a new BodyBlog entry "Walkin the walk....".

Well the boot camp thing that the wife talked me into is a real workout..and completely differant than either the cardio or weights I am used to! 1/2 hour of some intense cardio doing jumpy-lungy-squaty stuff, then some kind of more 'weighty' work. Last thursday was seond day and I survived it well. First day, last Tuesday, nearly killed me but i'm all past the bronchitis and sinus infection now so alls good. The 'walk' pic.. yeah, holding 25pb plate over head and walking 1/2 mile seem easy... Go to BodyBlog

Rough last two weeks... missed two days of work and gym week before last and three last week due to the damn sinus crap and allergies and sh!t. UUUGGGHHH!!!
