When I Started:
Jan, 2005
How I Started:
After gaining about 30+ in my late twenties (from celebrations after softball games, too many pizza dinners and burgers, etc) I wanted to get back to a healthy weight. I started long distance running, and eventually added weight training to the mix. I've lost 25 of those pounds of fat, and am looking to keep going. I want to get into the best shape of my life.
Why I Love It:
Working out is 'me' time -- something that gets harder to find as you get older.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking good for my wife, and being a healthy role model for my children.
BB Accomplishments:
Air Force Half Marathon, White Rock Half Marathon

To be physically, financially, spiritually, maritially, and family fit in 2009.
Goal (Long):
#1. My marriage and family are the most important thing in my life. Without it, all else crumbles. Thus, my goal is to constantly work at being the best husband and father I can be.
#2. Financially, I want to be debt free (except for the house) by my 40th birhtday. I also want to be on Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 4 by then. Being financially fit helps all other goals.
#3. Without health, you have nothing. Physically, I also want to take care of my liver, as I have Hepatitis C. I want to be around for my kids grandkids. Looking great is a nice plus, but my internal health always comes before outward appearance.
#4. Spiritually, I want to be content, love my neighbor, and acknowledge and respect the higher power and know that that power loves us. I enjoy Zen mediation and want to learn more about that.
This morning I took the pup for a 20 minute walk, did 25 minutes of meditation, and did some writing. I'm back to a 3 day lifting scheduling, so I'll hit the gym tomorrow.
Not too much more to write about right now. My diet was terrible yesterday (actually, pretty good until the Saints...
I applaud you for your overall goals especially the spiritually, maritially, and family fit parts. I never became much of anything until I became spiritually and maritially fit. Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless.
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting me on your most inspirational list. It is people like you that keep me inspired as well as allowing me to believe that I can make a difference in people’s lives.
Stay strong, focused and determined & may God bless.
Hey! Yeah I know. I have been gone for a bit. I not only let myself get derailed, I didn’t dish out the encouragement to my friends. I apologize. I know I don’t have to but I have found that my friends help me stay on track and I hope I do you as well. So please forgive me for abandoning you and fill me in on what you have been up to these last couple of months. How are your workouts? Diet? Motivation? What are you looking forward too? Have your goals changed?
I don't mind, I like the long distance running but I have bad knees and can't run for a long time, I need to find a good cardio to go along with my circuit training.
hey bud.. not bad.. gaining some more weight and getting stronger.. getting some def in pecs and can see some separation, but need more of a tan to show it.. how are you doing? any progress pics lately?
