I was disgusted with myself. So I decided to start doing some cardio. My horrible 1 hour cardio work, 2-3 times a week grew much more pleasant and tolerable. I was soon at the gym 4-5 times a week for 2-3 hours. Mixing cardio and some weight training. Having started in winter I knew that I would be at the beach the following summer so my actual goal was to be able to take my shirt off and not be embarrassed by my white flabby chest and stomach.
Why I Love It:
At my age I feel so much better about myself physically and emotionally when I am working out. Being a single dad, with three sons, can become overwhelming and it helps me relieve my STRESS.
How I Stay Motivated:
I absolutely enjoy working out. I update my goals as I reach them, yet make them difficult enough that I have to work hard to obtain them. What started out as fat loss, has now turned into muscle gain. I do still want to loose some more fat, but I feel I can do this with continued healthy eating habits. Another way I stay motivated is that now others at the gym ask me for tips, that gives me a rush. Makes me stay focused not just on myself but also learning as much as I can to help others.
BB Accomplishments:
Not a Body Building Accomplishment but I did drop 35 pounds and went from 25% body fat to 8% in just over two years. I am no longer embarrassed to take my shirt off because I can see my abs again.

Okay, No laughing please, this was me before I put on more weight, YIKES!!! Was about 175 here, but completely out of shape.
This is me at my highest weight of 245, I will be putting a picture up of me in the same pants now, those are size 36 and as you can see my belly is hanging over,
Now that I am at the weight and body fat that I wanted when I first started this journey, I now want to build 25 lbs. of muscle and get my body fat down to 5%.
For those who have asked to see my before pics I have finally been able to get a couple of them posted, take a look if you dare. The kids picked these out and there are a few others, but not sure about those yet.
Hey man. long time no talk. I wanted to ask you if you kno anything about superdrol? The chemical name for it? looking to get on supervol its a superdrol clone. let me know if you know anything about it.
James, doing well here. Thanks for asking. Shovelled out from two snowfalls, pulling lots of uncle-duty, keeping somewhat on top of work, etc. Yeah, it's well here. Your boy will be home from school soon. Your middle still dealing with the high-school girl thing? Don't envy you THAT!!
The week was rough but productive, nonetheless. Things can only get better :0) Looking great, btw. Thank goodness for this sport, don't you agree? Helps keep my head working right.
