With shame and doubt I approach the scale knowing that the last 2 months have been a mix of poor diet and tons of Bud-lime. No surprises as the damn thing reads 292.5. Dang. Instead of a negative, I will take this as a positive motivator, and get back to crackin. I’ve got the gear, I’ve ditched the beer, and I’m off. First stop, 275. Good luck peeps, and wish me a little too!

Why the heck does this always happen? I am I alone on this? O.k, it seems as though everytime I make a little progress, I go right back into slacker mode. "Oh look, I lost 20 pounds, where’s the beer at?" "Oh look, my pants are a little looser, where’s the pizza?" A little simplistic maybe, but you get the gist. It is so hard to keep myself motivated, and I know its all mental. Oh well, whatever. Not fishing for sympathy by any means, I just wish that I could keep that killer frame of mind. Keep that focus that seemingly eludes me. I have no problem getting back on that horse, I just wish he wouldn’t kick me while I was down there. Peace.

Hello world. Quite the night last night i’d say. Some great matches and some real flops. Really feeling the beer n pizza 2 day tho. I don’t know what’s worse, the guilt or the headache lol. Nothing much more to do other than survive the work day, and then pick my sorry stinkin carcass up and get back on that horse. Or treadmill or weight bench. Peace.

I don’t know how to be more consistent with the time I have available. I work on avg 11-13hrs a day, for 10day shifts. You add a little family time, school functions etc, and there just aren’t enough hours in the day for me. It is a very tough balance. Thankfully my family is quite understanding, but I can’t help but have the shadow of guilt overhead. Almost like I’m stealing what little time they have with me. Dig?

Well readers, or should I say self, last night wasn’t so good. Drank 4 beers, skipped my workout and then had the munchies pretty bad by the time I got home. Which resulted in 2 bowls of Shreddies with 1%, and a bowl of white rice with soy sauce and pepper. Doesn’t seem so bad now that I’m typing it out, but I went well over my target calories. Bummer. Oh well, as they say, today is a new day. This was a stumble, not a complete crash. I think the damage was more mental that physical and I am ready to pay for my "sins" lol. Peace out and play safe out there. N8

Hello to all y’all out there! I hope everyone is as excited is I am at once again having a fresh start. So where do I go from here? Nowhere but up, or down if you’re counting waist size & body fat! As far as equipment goes, I’m pretty limited at the moment. But I think that using my body weight, some dumbells, and some "Indianuity" I think I can get started on my journey to the wonderful land of Fit. Any suggestions for someone in my situation, especially diet wise, would be greatly appreciated. Kicks in the ass welcome as well! Play safe out there all, and stay tuned for *gulp* before pics.

Well, its been a few days, a few pounds gone, a few 2 many brews pounded, and i’m still here. Walked 27 holes on Saturday, great exercise. 2 bad it was about 1 beer per hole. Gotta lay off that garbage, man. Push-mowed and raked almost an acre on Friday. Tonight I think i’ll blow the dust of my bench, try and get a feel for where I’m at as opposed to where I think I should be. Not to mention it’s about time for some before pics. Don’t know where you’re goin if you don’t know where you’ve been. Yeah……….   Anyhow, play safe out there kiddies.

So here I sit. Once again cruizing the BB website, soaking up as much info as possible, for what tho? Is this actually where I start my improvement? What is going to keep me out of the fridge and off the couch today? Yesterday was great, active day at work, some dumbell, core and treadmill time, ate well. Today? 4 cafe mochas, a greasy spoon rib dinner complete with fries, and a piss-poor attitude. And it ain’t even 5:00 yet. Help me help myself.
