When I Started:
May, 2004
How I Started:
I have always had active, sports-minded lifestyle, and HS sports got it started! But as an adult, maintenance work-outs were just to stay in shape and not outgrow my clothes! That got old quickly, and I decided that I wanted to look better than the typical middle-aged guy! As work required weekly travel, I knew that expense account living would destroy my progress and motivation if I wasn't careful. I began hitting the gym after my workday, and as I began to see my body change I knew I would never go back to the old workouts again!
Why I Love It:
Seeing the results of my work in the gym, and the impact of healthy living and proper eating, all combine creating a drive that makes you keep on working! The feeling of the pump, the sense of accomplishment, and payoff for the hard work - all create an experience that explains why I do what I love to do!
How I Stay Motivated:
It's an addiction and lifestyle for me. I can't imagine a day NOT in the gym!
BB Accomplishments:
None... Yet!

12-Week Transformation Challenge - Day 84, Week 12, Done!
Goal (Long):
I've always wanted to have the body I saw in the bodybuilding mags. In my 20's, I was lifting all the time, and was told I should try competition, but didn't. Now, a few years later, life has rocked on, replacing the competition goal with other priorities. My focus now is on getting cut, keeping muscle, and less than 10% BF by June 1!
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
9%

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you to be a better parent?
As a model for my sons to see what discipline and commitment to a goal look like in real life! Not the Hollywood version of receiving instant gratification!

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?
Good old journal! I carry it each time I lift, and have all of my old ones to refer back to!

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Workout at the YMCA. I like the family atmosphere for my kids, but would personally prefer a more hardcore gym.
Not sure if this will resonate with many of the BB.com readers, but my hope is that it will. I've been recently "displaced" from my position in October '08, a victim of the illustrious banking industry upheaval. While that layoff brought about many changes to my life and that of...
