Background
When I Started: Jan 2008
HOW I STARTED:
I have always had weight problems. But in the last 2 years I have really gained alot due to work and home related stress and my existing poor eating habits. One day I was going up the stairs at work and it hit me how hard it was becoming. So I started trying to revamp my life. I first started just working out on my own and wasn't seeing much result, but then I had a friend of mine who is a personal trainer go over my routine. I have been doing a four day split that he worked out for me (that compliments my work schedule) for about 2 weeks and I can already tell a difference!
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love lifting weights because it energizes me and makes me feel so much more alive!

My Motivation Program
I love the energy and intensity of my work outs. If for some reason I miss a day I feel like crap, so It drives me to work out to keep that good feeling. I have fallen in love with weightlifting.

Allergy season comes to the south.
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:32pmWell spring is just around the corner. How do I know? My allergies are kicking my butt today. Thank God it is a rest day. I hope they wil ease off tomorrow.
New pics are up
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:32pmWell its been a month since my last pictures. Im a little dissapointed. I was hoping to see a bigger difference. I also took measurements again but no change. My family says they can all see a big difference but I cant yet. It is really disheartening. I have been working so hard. I know its not going to happen overnight but I was hopping for more after a month. Please pray for me to not let this get me down.
Making Progress.
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:32pmI had a good workout today. A friend of mine came over and worked out with me so I was able to go heavier than usual on bench press and get a good forced rep burn. Its kinda funny though because Here I am Mr. Super out of shape and I am pushing him to do more LOL. Im doing good on everything so far. I will have new pics and measurements up Sunday so I guess that will really tell the tale. So far I have only seen little changes but everyone else says they can see a big difference. I hope the numbers and the pics show me what I dont see yet. But no matter if I clear the hurdle or knock it...

Glad that you dropped by. Keeping active is one way to stay motivated and it is great that you feel everything is going good. I am not saying you are going to, but if you ever find yourself losing motivation etc., make sure you get in touch. I am not just here for the good times, I want you to succeed and am willing to help when needed. As for me I am feeling great and looking forward to each and every day. Keep lifting.

Your wonderful message means more to me than you will ever know, and I thank you. I have a hard time feeling worthy of the humbling words you sent, as I don

You have all the inner strength you need to make your body transformation dreams come true. My wife (bodyspace name: judimax) went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6 and I lost over 50 lb
