When I first tried cardio when I started this journey I could only get 5 minutes in on the eliptical trainer.  Being out of shape for soo long and being this heavy has completely weighted me down…. literally. 

The second time I got in 10 minutes and was sore for days.

Tonight I got in my full 30 minutes and I feel great.  It feels soo good to be able to do that again!

I haven’t weighed in yet to check progress… mostly because I am scared, however, when I got home tonight I measured the biggest part of me (my gut) and it turns out I have lost 1" off of it… So progress Is being made!

Thanks to all of you who stop in with your support.  It means a lot!

Yesterday was my first time back in the gym in 6 years!  I got under the bar and got to business with my chest and shoulders.  I havent felt them pumped in a long time and it felt great!…..

Until today.  I am sore.  Real sore.  I know tomorrow will be worse.  Tomorrow is also Labor Day.  No rest allowed here though.  I have to work and then get to the gym for my biceps and back.  It is gonna be a rough start getting through that initial soreness but it still feels good to be back!

Sounds prophetic I know.  I guess it is just a fancy way of saying that I will be officially starting the documentation of my transformation beginning monday Sep 3rd 2007.  I received my first round of supplements today and am cleaning the junk out of the fridge and pantry and doing "good" shopping on friday.  Saturday I see the doctor to get weighed in and my blood pressure checked and will get measurements of myself with the help of my wife this weekend.

Already I am seeing support from people around this site.  People I don’t even know.  Without sounding too wierd about it… the support means a lot more than you know.

Thank you all!
