When I was going into my freshman year I was in very good shape. I had the start of a six-pack. I was biking everywhere and swimming whenever I could. Then college hit and I jumped up from 165lbs to about 235lbs in 2.5 years. Once I became a single man and I realized that making myself look better would give me a better attitude in life, I started working out again to get back in shape.

I love working out because it's something to do that improves yourself directly. I love that even if I didn't do anything else but workout that day, that I can go to bed feeling accomplished. Also that even when I had a lot to do that day and I still can squeeze in a workout then I get the great feeling of getting the most out of my day. It's addicting and energizing.
