Overall Goal: "DO ONE MORE" Body Group founder. Check it out. "And, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For I am the baddest m***** f***** in the valley." I'm training to be said mf'er in the valley.
Fit Status:
Ordered my study materials. Decided on ACSM for PT Cert.
I didn't want to be the fat dad in the stands watching his kids. I wanted to be the fit dad that was coaching.
When I was a child I was the fat kid. I felt comfort in wearing bulky clothes. I live in the South where its 90 degrees at night. I would wear a jacket almost year around. I didn't realize how miserable I was until I reflected on it at a later age.
Why I Love It:
How I feel when I'm done. Reaching personal goals of lifting and running. Challenging myself daily. Euphoria almost.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing my son watch every move I make.
BB Accomplishments:
Not bodybuilding accomplishments, but fitness accomplishments.
Completed a 5k without puking.
Did 5 x 10 dead hang pullups.
Did 200 pushups straight with varying grips.
Got my bodyfat % below 20 for the first time in my life.
Forum Signature:
I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd, I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.
Still can't believe I own abs. At least the top of them anyway. The bottom is covered with excess skin which will only go away in time, from what I understand.

Goal (Long):
I've reached my initial goal. I've lost almost 80 lbs. Now, my goal is changing to gain lean hard strong muscle. I want to weigh around 195 with 8% body fat.
I will:
- Train like an animal
- Eat the appropriate things
- Take my vitamins and supplements
- Block out the pain and soreness
- "D.O. O.N.E. M.O.R.E."
- Stay dedicated no matter what
- Thank God for blessing me with the will, determination and health to keep it up.
The before and after pics says it all. Plus the fact that even with an impairment it didn't impair his drive and determination to better his appearance and health. I'm going through the same thing and it's really tough even with the use of my legs. I can't imagine what it would take to maintain the same discipline without the ability to walk. Excellent job!
Was I really that out of shape, and just physically disgusting to look at? I spent some quality time with my mom this past week. It was my 34th birthday on the 2nd and she came over on two seperate occasions. One to take me shopping for some new clothes and the other to take me to dinner.
lol! Glad we see eye to eye on that, lol! Thanks so much for the kind words and steadfast support - I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I can't move very well, lol, but that's what I was going for :) so I can only be happy about it. Hope you have a good day, so nice to chat with you again
I am walking like an old woman, lol - I work hard to have that problem :) Thanks for dropping by - I am in between classes and I'd better hobble along, lol! ttys?!
Good for you! That's what I would do. Midterms are done, and they went well, and I couldn't be happier after all that! I had a good workout today - first one since being so sick - I did legs, it felt great to hurt like that, lol, you know what I mean :) Please have a good week
My pleasure Mick, although I am sorry to hear you are under the weather. You aren't the only one, there is a lot of stuff going around. I've been sick for two weeks - on the tail end of my antibiotics - the timing couldn't be worse right during midterms - but I got thru it. I hope you feel better soon :)
That's awesome news mister! I've just been in the routine that is school and enjoying my new internships that I just landed. Loving my training. You are looking fantastic. You were definietly missed, so I wanted to see if everything was good, and I am glad it is :) Thank you so much for the vote - you can vote everyday if you are so inclined :) Hope your weekend is good :)
