Hello Everyone

[TeacherMan78]

Hey everybody, I'm George. I've lurked around here for a few weeks and decided to sign up. I'm trying to transition to a healthier way of eating. I've been lifting weights pretty solidly for the last three years. I'm a pretty big guy, I've always been a pretty big guy and I always will be a pretty big  guy.  I'm getting married in October and I'd just like a little less gut and a little more "guns". I'm giving paleo a try. Right now I'm probably about 50-60% there. I've switched peanuts with almonds, started eating more vegetables, sworn off peanut butter sandwiches (my favorite post-workout snack) and cut back on the beer. I'm going to slowly build up to where hopefully I'm in the 80-90% range over a month or so. 

 

Right now I've started training for strongman with a goal to compete next summer. I really love the training. It is a nice change of pace from the powerlifting stuff I've done for the last few years. I figure a learner, quicker body will help out big time in competition. I look forward to getting to know all of you and learning from everyone here.

Hi George, congratulations on your wedding I'm no where near a power lifter (just did my body weight workout and about killed myself trying to do a pull up lol) but I wish you tons of luck! You'll find lots of helpful people here to keep you motivated
