Me at Daytona after a 32lb in 12 week weight loss. TOO skinny.
Short term i want to get in overall good condition. i want to lose some fat and start gaining muscle. I want to get in the "groove" concerning lifting and get a handle on my nutrition.
Goal (Long):
My long term goal is to be healthy, fit, live a quality life and have people look at me and say, "daaaaang!" :)
Went to the doc over my shoulder and got a coritisone shot.. to be honest it started feeling better immediately. We talked about my previous blood work that showed my cloresterol to be high and my thyroid to by hyproid. He said that there are cases where the thryroid could cause the cloresterol...
Great pictures (your transformation is truly inspiring!) and an even better profile. What you wrote shows you clearly a complete man (brains and brawn). Thanks for posting!
That's the spirit! Hope the shoulder gives you a break soon. Yeah, know what you mean about the summer bod. My daughter says I already look better than I did last summer. I am working hard so I can walk without the jiggle at the pool this summer. Tee heee! I hit 128 lbs. this morning, which was a goal. Now I still need to loose about 20 more but definitely my body is changing and going in the right direction! The running is helping I'm sure. Enjoy your day!
Hey Mike! How's it going with the cholesterol and your shoulder? Better I hope! Yeah my 13 yr. old daughter was a gymnast and she was walking with crutches and got a coritzone shot and the same night put the crutches away. It only lasted a few weeks for her, but it was like a miracle for pain control. Good luck, hang in there and hope before you know it you are feeling great and strong again!
Hey! Not too bad, still hitting the gym three nights a week for at least three hours each time with my trainer and the rest of the days just doing cardio by myself. How's it going with you? How's the weather out there? The humidity here is starting to kick in a big way, hate that! Only 7 more weeks and I'm moving to Albuquerque, where there is hardly any humidity. Yea!!!
thanks turbomike - I hate the assisted dip/chin up machine - but I guess it is actually doing me some good. Might just have to have a bit of a better relationship with it over the next 20 weeks!
most definately! live it love it breath it! GSXR 1000 K2 and a one off replica made jsut for me.. Shaun Giles 2002 replica. Should have a pic in my photos (I think) :)
Hey, sorry I haven't gotten that recipe posted yet. lol I think my trainer is trying to kill me. Except the for extreme soreness, I'm really enjoying myself. We worked out an hour on Mon, I did my own cardio on Tues, then we hit it for 3 straight hours on Wed. lol I didn't do anything last night except limp around my apt and clean. Needless to say, I haven't been worth much this week, so I will get the recipe to you ASAP. Anyway, how's your week been treating you? :)
I'm hanging in there, trying to get back into summer shape, but it's not going as planned, so I'm going to go crazy and attempt to put on muscle. GOTTA LOVE IT!
