I have been active since I was young but after college I started gaining weight. I no longer had easy access to a gym and lost all of my free time to exercise. A few months ago, I starting getting back into exercising and joined a gym near my job. I am now working out in the mornings and my goal is to get lean and strong. I am hoping by following a plan here that I will be able to get my body back into shape :)

I love the challenge and I want my body to be healthy and strong. The desire to be healthy is my biggest motivation since obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure all run in my family. I am trying to be an exception so I know I need to control my diet and work out regularly.
