We buy delicious marrow-y beef bones from the farm we get almost all our meat from locally. The best part is it's like $2/pound for them!!!

After applying at many departments over the past 3 years, I was offered a full time position at a fire department in KY!! Finally getting to start my dream career! Now we just need to find wifey a job in Lexington and all will be wonderful

Congrats!!!!!

Great job! Doing a pull up is my 2012 goal. Keep up the great work!

Great job!!! I love loading up the bar and defying gravity!! It freaks the people on machines out too

WOOOO!!!! money is money congrats!!

Great Job!!!!

Dude that's awesome!! I want to learn how to work with metal, just something neat about knowing how to manipulate raw materials into a finished project.

Great Job!!! The hard work is soo worth it!!

Weighed in this morning at 274.8! woot because A. I met my weight goal for the 6 week challenge, B. I haven't weighed this in at least 4 years...I can't believe that in 2009 I was 325 and now i'm hear with a lot of momentum carrying me forward!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!

Sorry so delayed, Final weight 282 Final Squat 280# Mile time: 10'52" Credit card balance = $0 So a bit of victory, got a bit derailed during the challenge and I think that set me back a bit. Still record low weight, record high on squat & did pay off a credit card. Thanks for the encouragement everyone

ok after more than a few days off the rails, i'm back on track and chugging. Squats today worked back up to 275 x 8, also threw some bench press in and set a new pr at 165x6. Also back to running, just a mile but did it in 12'06" which isn't bad after being off for like 2 weeks. Thanks for the encouragement

So really busy week, TONS of stress between work & family (I work as a paramedic and had multiple critical calls this week, one close to home), ha resulted in me not eating the best or exercising much at all. blagh

I'm a bit late to the party on this but on twitter i'm @Oestermonster

ok so worked out today, new pr for squats 275#s x 8 reps x 2 sets. holy cow batman!! I love that I can squat my goal weight, which by the way as of my weigh in this morning i'm only 9 pounds away from hells yeah!
