When I Started:
Nov, 2006
How I Started:
Have a little baby girl Caitlyn, now 11mo old, and besides my wife liking the idea of me being in shape, I have to start now to scare off all the boys my little girl will start bringing home one day.
Why I Love It:
Its, scary. Its like an addiction. I feel bad when I don't workout, and when I do, I feel great all day.
How I Stay Motivated:
Knowing that when I don't, I let myself down.
Also, I'm trying to stay ahead of an old knee injury that keeps slowing me down. My goal for 2008 is to complete 2 sprint triathlons.
I'm trying to cut body fat and gain muscle. Down to 162 by Feb 29th. Single digit bodyfat by April 18th. Weekly goal is 1lb off a week.
Goal (Long):
I carried 5% body fat in high school from all the sports I played. Trying to get back to that point but at the same time increase some muscle mass so that I don't turn into that skinny quick guy again.
Planning on completing the Lake Geneva Sprint Triathlon this fall with a friend, and have now convinced my wife to join in.
Bon Appetit (sometimes), Gourmet cooking, Men's Health has a few, otherwise, I come up with them myself with whats in the closet and fridge at the time.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
To say the least, I'm disappointed with myself. Despite feeling better, being able to go longer in cardio and more reps and seeing part of a four pack, I looked at my one month progress pictures and my weight and this isn't what I was expecting. I wanted to cut some weight back, and...
Sunday- Chest/Tri 2-3 sets of 10 reps. Superset them. Go between one chest, one tri, abs, back for second set of chest, tri, rest 1-2 mins, then new chest exercise, repeat through 4 different movements
Mon- See above, but with Back/Bicep (usually including 3 sets of 10 pullups...
It's funny you mention it, my wife is a bit jealous as well, but she has been really good about it. She knows the deal, no matter if I'm fat or skinny, she's out of my league and it's a miracle that I landed her! She is ready to deliver and get herself back to the gym, and when she does I might end up with a clone of 'buffmother' on my hands! Thanks for the comment! Keep up the hard work!
Good luck with the baby! I'm expecting a little boy anyday now, so maybe he'll be the one you need to scare away from your daughter! Stick with the plan and you'll find a way to make it work!
