I'm back, I've been gone for quite some time, getting into new jobby type stuff, into and out of various forms of mobility (I smashed my car up pretty good), and since I last had anything going on on these forums into a great new (now more newish) relationship. And I've also gotten back into chicken wings. Crap, I'm fat. So I'm going to have to get into this new challenge, to save my waistline, to save my health, and to save my poor girlfriend form having to witness my lard-ass nude. Backstory? You got it! So I was in pretty good shape. Worked out in some form or another almost every day. I watched what I ate, I had nearly stopped drinking. I was on a mission. Then after hitting a certain goal, I decided to take a little break. I looked pretty good, I had a girl I enjoyed being with who liked the way I looked, things were good, so I figured I'd give myself a little time off. That was about 10 months ago. Oops. Roughly 4 months ago I started doing weight training with my new boss, was doing that pretty regularly, but I wasn't working as hard as I probably could have been, and my eating was pretty garbage. As work and other factors creeped in on me.. the food went up, the workouts went down. Wrecking my car hurt both mobility and pride wise, and my work hours went up to the point that with my growing level of laziness I pretty much stopped doing anything to take care of myself. That's where I am up to this point. Today I got my car out of the shop. I can drive again! Time to get everything else in gear. That and the Girlfirend signed up for this challenge, and it'd just be shameful if I didn't keep pace right! Gotta at least pretend to wear the pants around here.... Fitness Goals: Over the next 6 weeks, I'd like to refind my once budding sixpack, or at least get a good map to where it used to be. To that end, Goal one shall be to drop from roughly 27% to 21% body fat. 6 weeks is a little short of a time to get a 6, but certainly enough to dump the keg. Goal two shall be to display my cullinary talents on a regular basis, which means cooking respectable meals at home instead of feeding my chick-wing-crack-addiction. Goal three, will be to by the first 3 weeks be back on my strength routine on a mon-wed-fri or tues-thurs-sat basis, and by the end of the 6 be doing the alternating weights / core-cardio program that had been so successful in the past, until I got lazy and started waging war on the world's chicken populations. I got called out by my chick... Guess it's go time.
