About Me
|
Definitly getting into shape for myself. I was a strong lad in my late teens. 5'7" 200lbs from working as a farm hand all my life. Once I completed high school I moved to the city to get into college, graduated, got a nice job, got married. Since I was on my controller of my own food I started eating the things I would never have been allowed before. Soon I balloned to 250lbs. But I figured I was still strong just a little pudgy. Boy was I wrong. Winter 2008 changing the snow tires on the new truck (large 20") I could barely lift one of the axle nevermind back on. The hoffing and puffing was out of this world. I got super mad. Pulled my back on the second tire adding fuel to the fire. Started thinking of the last few years running out of steam cutting the grass, moving things in the house, walking up a flight of stairs etc...
Needles to say I took action. I dumped all junk food, added sugar, pastries and returned to my diet of veggies & meat, whole grains & milk. Started to add exercise (weights) found Scoobysworkshop after I bought a jump rope and search for videos. Followed his plan since May 09.
As of July 2009 I lost 50lbs and have trippled my strenght (weight carrying load).
Can't wait to change the tires now.
My wife likes it and I seem to get more smiles from her even though she insist that the chest is getting to hard to cuddle. Those are the breaks I guess.

My Interests
|
Cooking, computers, anything manual labour wise like carpentry, home reno, etc... and of course fitness.
My cooking has now been refocused on creating delicious yet very nutrition, low fat, proper portion, controlled calorie meals. I actually have regained my love for cooking as I now focus on flavour not volume. Cooking healthy while following the small 5-6 meal rules is a nice challenge that with a little effort and creativity can be acheived.
