When I Started:
Jan, 2007
How I Started:
Started out about 2 years ago at 192 lbs. Lost 40 lbs, dropping down to 150 lbs. Then decided to take up weight lifting to keep myself active. I've since put on about 22 lbs.
Why I Love It:
It's become "what I do in the evenings". I used to eat dinner, then sit and watch TV till bed time, now I work out. Quite often my wife will work out while I am, so we still get to spend our evenings together.
How I Stay Motivated:
By charting my progress, and seeing the physical gains I'm making. Also, my wife comments quite often on how much more muscular I am now, than what I used to be.
BB Accomplishments:
First of all, losing the 40 lbs. Most recently, quitting smoking after smoking for about 30 yrs.
I have my work out schedule set up in 4 week incriments. Basically, the routine itself remains the same, but for the first 4 weeks, I'll do a particular exercise for 3 sets/5-6 reps/max weight. For the next 4 weeks I'll do the same exercise for 3 sets/10-12 reps. On any given day, I'll mix...
It is going good but I am back in the basement too. I usually do not do as good just doing my workout there. So far I am tracking good though. Thanks for stopping by! You are looking good!
Thanks for the comment on my weight loss progress. Yeah, I'm doing things a bit differently this time around...trying to lose weight first, then bulk up. If I try to bulk up first, I just stay fat. Looks like you've done quite well on your transformation as well!
