Not sure why, but part of what I wrote got screwed up.  So here’s the second part:

There’s these two guys at my gym, younger guys in their early to mid twenties, that are sort of an inspiration to me.  Good guys and always willing to share some info.  You can see Mike’s bodyspace under my friends list.  Pete’s on here, too but I can’t find his yet.  Anyway,  Mike and Pete really go at it full force on everyworkout that they do and it’s usu
ally when I’m there as well.  So watching them go balls to the wall inspires
me to do the same.  At least as muc
h as i can.  I’m pretty much more than 20 years older that they are so I should watch.
But it’s cool to try just the same. 
 So guys, if you ever read this, Thanks!

Ok, well seeing how this is my first time writing in here I hope it works!  We’ll see.

Anyway, Hello to all who read this and many more posts by me.  I’ve acheived my main goal of dropping some fat and lowering my BF% .  I’m now at 191 lbs and 13% BF!  Wasn’t easy and still isn’t.  although I seem to be able to tweak some things as I go along.  It’s taken me about 11 weeks to drop about 17 pounds.  My routine hasn’t really changed, but now after doing mostly lower reps with heavier weights I’ve decided to change the rep scheme and start out with 15’s.  Working nicely.  I pretty much do about 20 minutes of cardio after my lifting still.  The 15’s are killers!  My muscles are burning afterwards, but it feels great to have that.  I’m noticing more muscle shaping and separation as I progress.
My diet drives me up the wall a lot lately, so i’m probably going to have to tweak that as well.  Mostly it’s my lunches that are starting to piss me off.  11-12 weeks of nothing but tuna for lunch is making me a bit crazy.  So I’ll probably start bring chicken sandwiches for awhile until that drives me nuts.  It’a tough road but one I’m finding very well worth it.
