2008 Goal Achieved!
Happy New Year! (belated) With all the traveling done over the holidays, I didn’t have a chance to update everyone on my goals and how I finished out 2008. The good news is that I achieved my goal of being 200 lbs by the end of 2008!!! That is phenomenal for me as I have never been this big, before. With the added weight has come some additional fat stores, but I have a plan to keep that to a minimum as I continue to bulk up in 2009. It’s very exciting, and definitely reassures me that I can get bigger.
Looking back over the year, one of the highlights has been meeting and beginning a relationship with my girlfriend. She’s been so supportive of me and my interests, and served as my "trainer" at my first contest ever in April 2008! That was by far the greatest experience last year, and I’m glad she was there to share that with me!! As 2009 gets started, I’m encouraged and excited about the challenges ahead, the one at the forefront of my mind being to shed some of the fat I’ve gained while still encouraging muscle gains. I’d like to be a lot tighter than I am as I gain, but I don’t want to sacrifice gains in order to satisfy my own vanity.
One day at a time to 220 lbs by the end of 2009!!
