A new challenger appears!

Well hi folks! Name's Josh and I stumbled across this site, figured having a group to work with would be useful or somesuch

 

The Cliffnotes: Definitely looking like a Ranger, really just trying to go from average to awesome.

 

Slightly more in depth discussion you say? There are two big things that are my issues as far as having a healthy lifestyle: Proper Eating and Keeping With It. If I'm being honest with myself, apathy about taking the extra 5 minutes I need to cook versus grab a McMeal combined with just a little too much Guiness for my own good are what's making me not happy. I recently read an article about Hugh Jackman being 31 in the first X-Men movie, and being 31 myself I just kinda got a little bug under my skin.

 

I'm looking to be realistic in my approach. I've got a reasonable strength training plan, I've cut high fructose and booze out of my system, and after being a month in, I'm feeling kinda awesome .

 

Big plans:

Bust the beer belly

Lean Muscle

Overall Improvement of Health

Hi Josh! Welcome  

 

I'm in the same boat as you food and beer wise and aspiring Ranger as well.... I've also cut down a lot in the last few weeks and I feel absolutely fantastic! I'm only on week 3 though so we'll see if I can commit and stick to it longer than a month or two. It's especially hard in the summer with all those grill outs friends have and cold delicious beer  

 

Here is to getting fit and sticking to it!

 

Best of luck!

I appreciate the encouragement Slates! And I definitely understand the feeling about the grill-outs fortunately I have a core group that's on board with me and I hit an awesome site for fandom flavored loose leaf tea, so I have a good replacement.

I have no doubt you'll do awesome in your goals! Worst case scenario; feel free to drop me a line and we'll encourage each other!
