When I Started:
How I Started:
I have been working out since jr high . . . I did wrestling, football and gymnastics in high school. Kept working out in college, but really let things slip since graduating. Am trying to get back into it more seriously now.
Why I Love It:
Makes me feel great when I do it. Want to make sure I stay in good shape for my kids . . . want to be around as long as possible for my family! I have two wonderful children and a beautiful wife of 11 years.
How I Stay Motivated:
Obviously, I have an issue with that! Trying to just make the time to get back in the gym more consistently.
BB Accomplishments:
No bodybuilding accomplishments or aspirations. Just want to get back into shape (something other than round).

Well . . . figured if I posted this where others could see it, I'd be more motivated to improve. Currently at about 200 lbs, 23% bodyfat. Want to get down to 185 or so by summer.
Here we go . . .
Want to shed some bodyfat and gain some muscle . . . a little public humiliation can't hurt as motivation!
Goal (Long):
By summer 08 I'd like to be down to at least 185 lbs and 15% bodyfat (lower if I can). Want to get some definition and keep it that way for as long as I can. So I will put a date on it and say that by June 1, 2008 I will make those goals.
Almost skipped my workout today . . . have been working crazy hours and absolutely getting killed at work with closing out the quarter. Just could not get going this morning to hit the gym at 5am like I usually do. Worked all day, non-stop--got home and ate dinner then just felt like...
Thanks alot man, I appreciate that! Best advice I can give is stay consistant and don't over-train! I wrote a few blogs about training that explain it in detail. Over training is the #1 cause of people giving up their goals. They burn out or get injured and make it much harder than it needs to be.
Thanks bro, it's been a long road, that's for sure... Val's and Runza does sound kinda good, doesn't it? Can't be eatin that stuff though! Maybe this weekend.....
