Well… a 5 lb gain…kinda surprised really. It has been 2 months since I weighed. I wish I had stayed on my diet , but I didn’t. So now what.. gain the other 30 back ? lay down and cry and kick my feet, I know I could blame My wife or my sons  lol….Nope not this time I will start over just 30 lbs lighter than last time.   I’m back baby…

Well here I am again. I took off a week, not really on purpose. We moved and man what a job. Anyway I didn’t have the time to workout so I took off a week to pack move and unpack. While unpacking I found a couple old vhs taps. One was "body of Work" the other was "success stories" both from the body for life challenge. Any way I took a break and watched them. I looked back over my workouts and diet and all that cardio I have done.. yeah right.. I realized I haven’t done half what I could have done. My diet is good for 2/3 a day than I ruin it. My workouts are hard but I am changing that a bit. And my cardio I don’t remember when I stopped but some where I just stopped altogether. Monday is going to be a good day. Monday I am starting back and I am not stopping for nothing. I am going to do cardio 3 times a week and walk every day. I did get to the gym 2 times this week to try out my new workout I like it…..heavy but still a good burn. And my diet.. I am going to diet hard for 3/3 of a day , no cheating I cant wait till the next 12 weeks. Our weight lose thing at work ended today. I lost 31 lbs 36 altogether this year. Well good luck to all and have a great day.

I had took some pics to see my progress and I don’t know. I guess I was hoping for some great change. I was looking at them last night , looking for something I may have missed. Well I did miss something. I have gained steady weight for a long time. After resizing my ring several time I just stopped wearing it. Well, Guess what I can wear it again and no resizing .

WOW. I don’t really know why but I am feeling great. I felt almost sick when I got home from work. I didn’t say anything but if my oldest acted like he didn’t want to lift I was going to stay home. But when I got home he had me a protein shake waiting. lol  He makes a good shake. So I drug to the gym, still dint feel like benching but I gave it a go. Before we left I was feeling great. I benched 75lb dumbbells. a personal best He did 95.. always more than the ole man. I came home ate a good dinner and now I am ready for bed. Feeling good

I once weighed 155 and was told by my gym the would sponsor me in an armature bodybuilding contest that was about 8 months away. No matter what I do I keep comparing my achievement to what i looked like 20 years ago. All I see is failure. I diet hard but when I slip up I cant stand it. When I leave the gym I am never satisfied. And , as with every other time I have tried a change I think failure = just quit. I am never satisfied, but I am still going. I am wearing a pair of 42 shorts now. I was wearing 48’s. I have lost over 30 lbs. since Jan. People are starting to grab my arm at work I guess to see if it is real  lol. Guys at the gym ask, how much weight have you lost. I am not satisfied with where I am but I am going the right way. I know the scale doesn’t lie, but I think the mirror does because I see no change. I don’t want to weigh 155 I want to weigh 200 and look big. I am almost at another goal .6 lbs and ill be in the 270’s almost 1/3 of the way. I feel great though. I can walk around I can climb ladders and steps. I can bend over and tie my shoe without getting out of breath, I can go 20 solid min on the stair master The scale makes me smile the mirror I hate. I have on clothes that I couldn’t  wear befor. I am doing good I just hate the mirror. Good luck to all and have a great day

Well my team sux. We had a team at work losing weight. 66 4 man teams The winning team gets 2 k . Well we suck. 2 of use are losing weight 1 guy has barley lost any thing and our girl gained weight. We needed to lose 60 lbs to get 50 bucks , I don’t think we will get that. I lost 20 my buddy lost 16 the big guy lost 6 and she gained 1. We don’t need to lose much the next 6 weeks but if they gain weight their goes the 50 bucks. lol I don’t care I have gained more than $50. Today I got in to a pair of 42 jean shorts. I was wearing a 48   yeah for me

The iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The iron will always kick you the real deal. The iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But, two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.” - Henry Rollins

It has just acquired to me that I had not thanked God for this site or you guys on here. He has given me all I need but He isn’t going to do it for me. I have blamed everyone for my problems except myself. One day in church our pastors exact words was "if you are fat it is your fault" this was about 2 hours after I had blamed my wife LOL. well good night

I think I have figured out how to get them on the same road. If I spend all our food money on fish and chicken they will have to eat it or go hungry. LOL  just joking . My oldest son has been working out with me from day one. I don’t know why or what he is after but he is a work horse. He plays foot ball, or maybe it is a girl or maybe he is in it for his self? anyway I have found inspiration in him. I was hoping to motivate the rest of the family and ended up being more motivated by him. I have found out to the body can be pushed father than I thought. My personal high on leg press was a little over 600 last post, yesterday I got 6 reps with 715. I wish my bench would do that. It must be a mental thing. I am starting Monday on my suppliments, protein, creatine, glutamine. I am going to try to get that bench up. My oldest ,16, benched 305 last Friday. He blowed by the ole man  lol. Well, let finish this oatmeal and go to church. Have a great day

Well still going. Still seeing little things change. I have went down a little on my bench but up a little on shoulder press. I wish I could get the rest of the family involved, it would make it a lot easier. Maybe my progress will motivate them . We weighed in at work. My goal was 16 lbs and I lost 20 for a total of 28 since Jan. had a good leg workout today. I am working out with 600 on the leg press which is another personal high. all in all things are going great.
