I met her at the expo in Los Angles in January. Not only did she have a tremendous physical change, she took the time to talk and encourage me to go forward. She was very nice, and lets face it she's hot.

She proves that exercise and diet works at any age. There is hope for me yet. Great job girl.

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
Quit drinking soda, a big one for me and no booze. Eating more vegetables, and fruit. Cut out sweets (well almost). Not eating fast food. Cooking all the meals.

Do you track your workouts (exercises, weight, reps, etc.)?
Yes
If so, how do you do it? Workout log, software program, etc.? Why do you do it this way?
Log book. Easy to do at the gym. It's like keeping your score card in your pocket while playing golf. Mark it as you do it.

Workout Program:
Went back to the gym tonight. Still energized from this morning. Got on the leg press machine and worked up to 20 45lbs plates on it. Oh what a feeling. Not a lot of weight for you gorillas, but for my age and injuries it felt great, looking forward to the soreness.

My six year old keeps me going. I was 3675 lbs at one point. I was only able to do one push-up and when I got out of my car or truck it was a major task. I also like seeing the great results when I look in the mirror. Trust me I have failed diets and plans in the past. Every new year for the past 4 years I have started something but failed.

Thanks for asking. Had a great leg work out tonight. I think a LARGE cup of Peet's coffee is the ultimate pre-workout supplement ;@)
