Welllll...to be honest I first lifted in college around 1987. But I always prioritized work over everything else in my life (dumb). So for 20 years I would get in the gym for a few months, then stay out for half a year or more. Over and over. In April 2006, just before I turned 41, I started back and stayed focused. I have been consistent about lifting, rest, and diet since then. And because I was *totally* out of shape at the time (about 290 lbs of flabby, no muscle self), I consider that my new starting point.
Why I Love It:
Lots of reasons! I like the sense of community among my gym buddies. The health benefits alone of fit versus obese are a great reward. They way I look is important (okay, I admit I can be vain).
How I Stay Motivated:
I have a network of gym buddies who take the sport seriously. I spend time on some boards--not a lot of time to spare. I read MD. I remember what being obese was like.

I was able to sleep more in the last week and that has helped a lot. By the end of last week I was so exhausted from 4-6 hours/night of sleep that I left work early on Friday, went home, and crashed. I slept for 3 hours, got up for dinner, then went to bed for the night. Must have been 10 or...

Hey big David, thanks for checking in. On my way back from Italy I caught a cold that is making me feel weak and not too well. I am sorry to hear about your db advanture, let's promise each other that this weekend we will feel good to go and motivated as we always are.
Thanks David,I appriciate your support. I just feel very tired and angry for some reason. But I am forcing myself to do some cardio during luch break and blow some steam. Thanks again buddy!
