I first started working out when I was a junior in high school for boxing and I felt great. But then I stopped working out completely and blew up to 194 pounds and knew I needed to do something about it. I've only recently this past year started actively working out, now that I'm down to 160. I tried P90X, I completed it, but I wasn't happy with my results. So I joined a gym and there's just something about lifting weight that's addictive.

It makes me feel good, even when every muscle hurts beyond belief. It's a good hurt. The pain lets me know I'm on the right track.
