Sik-N-Twisted’s BodyBlog

I spent the majority of my adult life thinking that it was important to be the biggest and the baddest!  I tried; but I was niether.  All I did was become an out of shape meat head that could lift some weights; but that was the only impressive part.  I looked awful!  I felt terrible!  My self-esteem was high; but only because I was around others that were of the same mind-set.  The fact is, I became something that I used to point and laugh at.  Somehow I became that guy!  The one that said, I used to be able to put 4 plates on each side for 4 on bench.  Wow!  How did I become that guy!  The one who has stories; but when you look at him you just say, "he’s full of shit!" 

Finally, in the beginning of 2007, I woke up and realized I became something I had dreaded ever being.  I could not hold my gut in.  I flexed my arms, and though large, not a single cut.  My veins were non-existent.  I could not stand to look at myself in the mirror.  I was 5′9", 262 pounds, and wearing a size 38 in my jeans.  Rediculous!  Then just like a bomb went off, I woke up one morning and said I was done trying to be the biggest, now I just want to be the best!–My best!

 That day, I started focusing on diet, exercise, cardio (yuck!).  I put together a diet and workout plan that would make the toughest guy cry.  I knew what I had to do and was going to do whatever it took to get there.  I spent the next 1-1/2 years busting my arse every step of the way.  I had dropped 80 pounds at one point.  I did a short bulk over winter and got up a little over 190.

Now it is time to start shedding the weight.  I would like to get in the 160s with 5% or less body fat.   I know I can do it!  I have my diet laid out for the next 18 weeks.  I change my workout weekly, so that it does not get boring and my body does not adapt to it.  A year ago, I turned 31 and was in the best shape of my life.  I just turned 32 today and again in the best shape of my life.  My plan for every day, is to make it better than the last!  I am going to be the best I can be for me!  I am going to be the picture in my mind.  Just wait and see!  So, this is a look into my future.  I am getting ready to amaze me!  Let’s see if I can do it.  Until next time……………………..
