Overall Goal: My goal is to get to 220 lbs. by December 15th of this year. I MUST do this to honor my commitment to myself, my wife, my kids, my dad and brothers, and the promise I made to my mother.
Fit Status:
Training with my RKC again starting this week. Have to dial it up a knotch!
The proverbial story....I was atheletic in high school and college. Always active and trained with weights until I entered the working world. Then got away from working out, started playing golf as a hobby, and got fat! In 2005 I started the first of 4 body for life challenges and lost 55 lbs. while cutting my body fat from 42% to 18.5% in a year. I kept this off for 18 months. And then last year I went through the loss of my mother to Luekemia and put on 60 lbs. of fat! My body fat has gone from 18.5% to 31%, my weight went from 275 to 335! It is time to honor my promise to my wife, kids, and mother to get this weight back off as well as the other lbs. I have put on over the years traveling and eating freely on the ole expense account!
Why I Love It:
I really love the high that I get after the workout. The feeling of accomplishment, and the satisfaction I get from pushing my mind and body. Working out hard has never been an issue, my problem is eating clean! Gluttony is my open sin, and it is going to be addressed starting now!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
I am motivating by the fact that I have a wonderful, beautiful wife, and three smart, healthy, great kids. It is my responsibility to lead my family. And in order to do that, I must make some changes in my eating habits so that I do not pass on the bad eating habits I have developed over the last 15 years to them. I also want the abundant life Christ promises, and I realize and know that my weight is keeping me from that. I desire to provide the template for my daughter and sons of a godly man, so that they have a standard to look up to!

My goal is to get to 220 lbs. by December 15th of this year. I MUST do this to honor my commitment to myself, my wife, my kids, my dad and brothers, and the promise I made to my mother.
Goal (Long):
The pressing fact is that I must reach a realistic life weight before I am 40! For me this is 220 lbs. I was on the right path until my mother entered Chemo in July of 2007, and the bad eating habits resurfaced pretty quickly. My father and both of my brothers, along with myself, each put on a considerable amount of weight. Between the stress of seeing my mom battle for her life, and the fact that most church members obviously believe chicken casserole will heal Cancer, all of our weight shot up. I put on 60 lbs. in 6 months! My father, brothers, and I all just started weight watchers. We all have to meet our goal weights by December 15th, 2009. If we do, then my father is taking everyone and our family's to Italy for a week as an incentive. We are doing this together for support and encouragement! My middle brother and I have to loose 114 lbs. in just over a year, and my father and youngest brother have to loose @ 70 lbs. in a year.
Having a pretty good week. I have had one day of eating bad, but I am making sure I am clean the rest of the week. I am still a little put-off by only a 1 pound loss this past week simply due to the fact that I busted my rear in the gym last week! I counted it up...from a week ago Saturday...
I am doing Kettlebell training 3 x per week, and swimming 3 x per week. I have a RKC certified Kettlebell trainer that develops my workouts with me to achieve my goals. I am now swimming 1 mile on swimming days.
It's great to see you're still sticking with it! Everyone has life happen to them now and then - those who get up and keep on are the ones who stand apart. Keep up the good work!
Anything worth having is not easily achieved! keep at it bro! dont ever give up. Best of luck to you and remember. If it were easy, everyone would do it
