When I Started:
Jan, 2009
How I Started:
At 46 I thought it would be interesting and a challenge to see if I could achieve 6 pac abs. Seeing many of the BodySpace entries of guys my age is truly inspiring.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling and energy it gives me.
How I Stay Motivated:
As narcissistic as it sounds, the mirror is a great motivator. Fitting well in clothes and seeing a trim body at middle age is very motivating.

What beachboy47 Is Up To:
Dec 9, 2009
beachboy47 changed Body Fat from 6.4% to 6.1%, a loss of 0.3 percentage point in 83 days
Found this shot from 2006. I was around 176lbs and it wasn't muscle...foof!
Looking a bit thicker I think in the arms and lats. I want to bulk up a bit during the holidays then I will initiate a keto diet as I hit the heavier weights. This is my game plan to cut and gain at the same time.
Between September and November my workouts and diet and not been good. Something about the change of season in the northeast from warm to cold weather slows me down. Now that Thanksgiving has past, I am really getting excited about new goals, rededication and a clear head towards the New...
I have gained a few pounds but I never worry about silly things like that cause I still look hot! Haaa! LOL! I give myself a break in December and plan ahead for weight gain. Have a great Christmas!
Graham! I just saw your new progress pics~ DEFINITELY thicker! Nicely done! I'm intrigued by your "keto" plan. I gave that a whirl myself a while back. Journaled it in the keto journals.
Thanks for the great comments. Sometimes it is hard to see any gains until you look at some past pics. I want to congratulate you on your continued success and maintenance. We both have come a long way with only good to come in the future. Cheers
Hi Graham, Thanks so much for your kind words. I did not meet my goals most specifically to lean out but I did work out hard in the gym and I am lifting more frequently and heavier. You are right what a horrible eime to try and eat healthy - lol Never again but I am psyched for 2010. You still look great btw.
thanks for the warm welcome! I'm thinking about the challenge. It requires many photos, and if you have seen my recent progress pic, I have issues taking photos of myself! You look great!
Thanks for dropping in Graham and thanks a lot for the comments, it's really appreciated.
How goes thing with you, all good I hope!
All the best - Mark
