This is it. My final attempt to get myself back in decent shape.
Why is it my final attempt? Because I’m tired of setting the same goal for myself and each and every time falling drastically short.
I’m 26-years-old, a father of two and a husband. I went from high school, to getting married, to working at a desk being a keyboard jockey. And that’s still what I’m doing.
In December of 2007 I was forced to go to the emergency room, by my wife, because of severe stomach pains. It turned out that my appendix was about to burst. While recuperating from surgery, I was forced to cleanse my body of fast food meals, sugary sodas and grande non-fat triple mochas.
After my recovery, I felt much better. I was slimmer, healthier and most of all, I felt happier.
As soon as I got my clean bill of health I joined a gym, with locations in both the town I work and the town I live in, and proceeded to work off my excess weight and tone up.
At 5′9″ I’m not a tall man, so when I say I was weighing in at close to 200 pounds, you can bet that wasn’t all lean muscle mass.
This blog is my attempt to stay motivated and to hold myself accountable, forcing me to stick with it.
