Background
When I Started: Jan 2008
HOW I STARTED:
I looked in the mirror and didn't like what I saw. I was 265 lbs and FAT. I knew I needed to do something so slowly I began improving my diet and getting more exercise. There were many roadblocks along the way, but with the motivation from friends here at BB.com I kept pushing through and plan to continue.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love the way I feel while working out. My heart pounding, my muscles straining, the music playing. Knowing that each rep, each set leads to a better me.

My Motivation Program
Progress is now my big motivator. I have made major changes in my appearance and strength over the past several years. Also following the progress of other friends I have met through this site keeps me wanting to do more to keep up with them.
Half marathon is in the books. I never want to run that far again. Time to refocus on my lifting.

Great back day today. Kinda killed the diet at dinner though. Probably isn't as bad as I thought

Inspiring couple of days.
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:10pmYesterday on a whim I decided to take some measurements as I hadn't done so in a while. Though my weight has pretty much been unchanged over the past month, I found that my waist measurement had dropped 1/2 inch and each thigh has increased 1/4 inch. Apparently my leg workouts have been better than I thought despite my unstructured routine for them. One week I may go high reps while another I may do high weight low reps. It's pretty random, but I always seem to be sore by the end of leg day. Also, today I hit a PR on my leg press. I was using the hammer strength p...
The race is over plus I need surgery
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:10pmLast sunday I ran my 5k race. Out of approximately 3700 runners which completed the race, I placed 273rd. My time was under 23 minutes for the 5k. I gotta admit...I was very excited about that. I took off a few days after the race for soe R&R. Tuesday night I had a great leg workout and I planned to run on Thursday eve. Thursday morning came and I had my follow-up after my MRI on my arm. As it turns out, my distal biceps tendon is about 80-90% detached from the bone. What this means is I either get surgery, or I should plan on losing ab...
60 lbs total
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:10pmAs of this morning I have reached the 60 lb mark in my weight loss. I've been running a lot lately and doing 1 leg workout a week in training for an upcoming 5k on Sept 28. Sept 25th is my followup appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. Though the arm is feeling a bit better, it is far from healed. I'm not sure what my plan of attack is gonna be if he suggests surgery. Surgery will get me back in the gym quicker, but end my hunting season before it starts. Being that these are my 2 biggest vices I don't know how I will go. I guess I'll have to...

Thanks, I has a shoulder injury from when I did gymnastics when I was younger and it flares up sometimes. Just can't lift weights on my right shoulder, so resting shoulders until it feels better. All good. I feel great just a small setback.

I really like the Xtend. I bought grape. I tried Aminocore in fruit punch and is really tastes like sweetener. My other favorite is Nitro Rush in cherry! :) It my overall favorite for taste! What flavor of Xtend do you use?

True. But that's a long way to go for an ass kicking. I can get my ass kicked a stone's throw from my house if that's what I'm lookin' for. :)

I'll definitely let you know. I'm not sure if I'm ready to take on the guys using the "special supplements" just yet! We'll see...

Hey, thanks man! I'm hoping that this year's improvements make a difference when it's time to hit the stage again.

Hey, you've got what it takes to win this; you just have to believe it too! Remember, with each workout push a little harder so you can blast through any plateaus. Feed your lean muscles with high quality nutrition--treat your body like a ferrari not a pinto ;-) I just wrapped up my first BodySpace blog and encourage you to watch the inspirational YouTube video I posted in the blog...strong mind=strong body!
