When I Started:
Apr, 2008
How I Started:
I've been working off and on since I was a Senior in College, but I've only recently began to eat right. I'll be really good about working for months at a time then fall into a slump where I don't go to the gym for month or two and splurge on my eating. I'm determined to do everything right this time.
Why I Love It:
“…the game we play, the road we travel, the voyage we’re on is a good one. It’s also, at times, very hard and frustrating. Like every worthy endeavor, it’s fulfilling, rewarding and beneficial. But it gets old, inconvenient and tedious. It hurts and gets lonely every now and then. Sometimes we quit, and when we quit, slowly but surely we fall apart. We have more time but less strength. We sleep later but have less energy. We have Sunday brunch, but we become fleshy. Frustration is replaced by guilt, and we suddenly miss the frustration. The easy chair is soft, yet we miss the hard bench and the hard push… “ - Dave Draper
How I Stay Motivated:
Women are inspiration, progress is motivation.
BB Accomplishments:
Not giving up so far. Every day is an accomplishment. Knowing I have control over my life, the way I look

schoicochanged Weight from 162 lbs. to 170 lbs., a 8 lb. gain in 131 days
This guy went from almost 250 down to 155 and looks ripped. This wasn't some 3 month change but over a year of work. That's a true change. He stuck with it. Anytime I think about the 4 months to lose 20 lbs and how hard that was, I'll remember this guy and stick with it.
So lately I've been taking it a little easy because well it's summer, I've reached my initial fitness goals, and I've been having a hectic schedule. This week I decided to get a little more serious again and pick up the slack. Last night I decided to check my bodyfat using the home...

Good for you to make the decision to finish strong! Keep it up!! Yeah, still on fire! Last week was rough because we are preparing to move to a new place, so I unintentionally missed 2 days...ugh. But I'll be hitting it hard again tonight! We move this weekend, but I am still going to try to squeeze in my usual gym time. Can't wait to burn some fat and tear some serious muscle!
Really? cut all sugars? So if cereal has <2g is that considere not ok? Thanks for your help - any additional input or answers to my above questions would be helpful!!!
If you want to check this book out I can send you by e-mail. I've send it already to at least 10 people. Just leave your address and its done :) Its pretty extreme, can't tell what's harder: training or diet, but its wort of it!
I personally think that P90x is waste of time! Trainings are to long and half of that is Tony's talking and hitting on girls! You can build upper body with it if you train hard but for lower body SUCKS! Cardio exercises are sooooo boring, I really admire you if you do them all the time! I stopped after phase 1!
Thanks for the comment/advice on my blog. Problems: I have no idea my body type and trying to figure out intake, sounds simple, but haven't been able to get any help with it. I drink a cup of green tea a day. I alternate between HIIT and my own type if intvls as well. I am just stuck. Don't know if I am intaking too much or not enough. 100% clean-no, but 100% better than 20months ago.
I hear you about being the stick with abs. My wife is already saying that I'm getting too skinny. I never planned to get skinny. I just wanted to drop some weight to see if it would be better on my knees. Didn't help. Guess the doc was right, just gotta live with it. Oh well. I'll be back in the gym on Monday.
I'm working out 4-5 days a week. So far I've just been losing inches. Burning away the fat. Still having got any muscle gains yet. Still working on the 6 pack, and trying to stick to a clean diet. How bout you?
