Ok, I just finished my Lenten duty, fasted, lost 10 pounds, did not slim down as much as I wanted, but there was some noticable change.

Now lets move on to Phase !!. I am stealing this title from one of my sons. It is going to be a phase of change. I am going to put into use all of the help and guidance given to me by a helluva lot of guys in here, ex: Corkey, Joe F. Alex, Mike, Steve, j2king, buffalo1, martyluna, Jazzy Jersey, 100%, and of course my brother the ever so awesome RevKeith. There are way too many guys to name, bbut these have been most memorable. I am totally sorry I cannot name everyone, but you get the idea.

I am starting a new Diet, and hiotting the weight room more and with intensity. I am not out to become the next spokesman, or perfect body. I can see the handwritting on the wall. If I could afford a trainer, I would. So, I just want to stay healthy, and look good. If I can accomplish those objectives, Phase II will be a total success.

Ok I am at the end of week 3. NO NEW  pictures yet. I am waitin for the end. but I am proud to say

I have lost 10 pounds already. I started my diet at 240 and recorded today at 230. Now I have to break thru that wall. I can never get past the weight. But I am now determined. as for work outs, my Cross Training work outs have shown development. nothing large, but I can see a difference. pants are even gettin loose.

My goal at the end of this, at Easter is to be at a weight in the 225’s or so. then I am not sure what Ill do. any suggestions?  go lower or try to bulk up. Realistically I’d like to be in the low 210’s then start to bulk. well I can use any help anyone is willing to give at this point. espically on losing that damn mid section. Yes cardio and sit ups, I am doin that.     

so this is the end to week 3 with 2 more to go. stay tuned!

I am a true work in progress

Well week 2 ended. it was a tough one, but I was successful.

I have returned to the Cross Fit Training Gym I use to go to. I have seen changes already. My confidence is also up. I even took notice to  being looked at by other women now. I have not developed the BodyBuilders Physique by no means, but I guess there are some changes that are noticable to others.

I have lost 7 pounds since i started this on Ash Wednesday, and it feels awesome.

I am focused on this new plan of action.  It seems to be working.  I am determined to change this year. I want to transform this ol’ bod into somethin I and my family can be proud of. I also want the site to say WOW he did it, keep it up.

Well onto week 3. as I say to all, I am stayin focused

Ok so will someone please fill me in here. I have started Cross Fit Training, well have been doing it since the summer. I have weight lifted for many years also. I have found that Cross Fit has given me a better burn and more of a full body work out than when I lift. I have lifted for years, taught it and have trained students in the art of BodyBuilding. But when I started Cross Fit, I have seen better results than when I lifted.

Ok so you are going to say do what is best for you. therein lies my delema. I feel like I am letting this room down, since it is almost totally developed to lifters. Yet I have met a few guys in here devoted to Cross Fit Training.

So what is the consences. which is better?

Well I have finished week 1. And I can say that I did it successfully! I have not been able to say that in a helluva long time.

I have been consistant on my diet. In fact I have lost approx. 5 pounds. And I have stayed focused on my liftin. I have even returned to the CrossFit Training Center I was, not that was working out  in. I had an awesome work out last night. I saw muscles in my chest I was not aware existed in my chest. I am still feeling the pump today some 15 hours later.

On to week 2. I am sure that this week will be as successful as last was.

Watch out site, I am in reconstruction mode. "A Work in Progress."

ok I have writen this before, started and stopped. Now I have had it. I have read enuf profiles to put me to sleep. But instead they have motivated me more.

I cannot name every guy in here who has told me to get off my fat ass and get going, well here goes my friends

Lent is coming upon us. I am going to take this time as a retransformation, and not a time of suffering. I am going to kill the couch poatao within me.

I do not want to compete, I just want to be in the best shape I possibly can.

Problems I forsee - Diet. With my work schedule I cannot eat the necessary 6 small meals. So I am asking for some help. Any suggestions?     

                      
  - Workouts. Ok I know what to do, now I will definitely concentrate on doing them. I have read enuf and investigated enuf material that I could now write the newest exercise book. So now I am going to take that information and actually Do It.

Ok now the start date will be Ash Wednesday. I will post some new stats on or before that time, with a new pict, if I get the guts up to take some new picts.

Keep in touch, and I’ll keep ya all posted

I am about to turn 57, and I feel great. In fact I will turn this horrid age within days. I had an awesome physical and all of my vitals have gone down. I thank Boot Camp and liftin for that.

But now I want to do somethin about me physically.

I have posted some new picts that I’ll title Rebirth or a New Beginning. I am going to give myself a year to transform my physique. I have asked for help from  trainers specifically. ‘Step Beyond’ has ben an awesome help to me. He has been a true mentor. I am also asking for help from my Boot Camp trainer. The 3 of us have our hands full but I will not let them down.

I am remaining focused on this. I am going to do this. And with help from other guys in here I’ll show you all.

So stay tuned guys it is going to be a helluva ride.

It is Thursday afternoon about 4:55 pm, and I am in my office reading profiles of various body builders. I was not looking at anyone in particular, I am interested in how everyone works out and succeeds.

I ran into several particular profiles that have given me motivation. The profiles I found are the wheel chair builders and those who have overcome obsticles to be where they are today. At the top of their field.

I am writing this, because I am one of those builders that want to see changes now, and if I don’t see anything I have a tendency of giving up for a while and starting over again.

Well these builders that I have read about have made me feel small. I do not feel worthy to be in their company. They have made great accomplishments in their lives, and awesome gains physically. Who am I to sit here and complain after reading their profiles and what they have been thru.

Yet I feel proud to be in the same room as them. If i could have achieved half of what they have achieved, i would be a happy camper. But again I haven’t, and and motivated enuf to succeed and more.

I just want to say thanks to those men who have been thru hell and back. I am proud to be in their company.
