Ok I’m a reformed couch potato. Admittedly I’m lazy, but my job in the
reserves and most of my hobbies require me to be in shape so what did I do?
I worked my rear end off to get into shape and I found out that I like it a lot
more. My story actually starts when I was young. I was actually blessed with
a small frame. I was the type of kid that could eat anything, not exercise and
still stay skinny (I know the kid that everyone hates). This was a blessing and
a curse at the same time, since I was well in my late 20’s before I realized
that I was not in good shape. Well by this time the small frame wasn’t so
small anymore. I was almost put on the Air Force’s “Fat Boy Program” the
only thing that saved me was that I took a leave of absents (I quit the
reserves for 5 years before rejoining). Well this close call woke me up, so I
started dieting. I still wasn’t exercising but I was able to go from almost 200
to 170 without too much work. I just changed my eating style and cut back a
lot on the sugary soft drinks. Now I’m working out every day. I’ve took up
Karate and Judo a few years ago, I recently graduated from Power 90 and P90X. I started P90X Plus October 20 2008 and it's tough (in a good way).
Since I started working out I’m down to 160 lbs
and am actually starting to see my 6 pack again (well you have to look but it’s
starting to show up again). I'd like to drop another 5 lbs but I'm more conserned with my body fat%. I’m also feeling 1000% better. My arthritis
doesn’t bother me like it used to. I’ve still got some issues that were caused
by a poor lifestyle but I’m finding that most don’t bother me as much as they
used to. Now I’m convinced that getting in shape, and staying in shape was
the best decision that I’ve made in a long time. I’m committed to stay that
way. So who wants to join me? If you want to talk about it, you can contact
