Howdy Guys! When's the next challenge start?

[Old Man AL]

Howdy, y'all!  I just found this website today while searching for information on supplements.  The analogy of the underpants gnomes really grabbed me.  I've gathered so many underpants, seriously the pile is huge and varied and smells a little odd.  It's time to stop all that and start doing something, time may be running out.

 

Anyway, here's a list of random things about me.

I have 3 kids

I have a desk job

I love peanut butter

I used to drive a dump truck

I'll be 40 in about 1.3 years

I used to lift a bunch and it was really fun

I used to run and that was fun too

I just quit smoking after 20 years

I generally play the tank

I like stretching

I like dogs

I'm not like other girls

 

Back in the day my body used to respond in amazing ways to anything I did.  I still know what to do, but I realize that I don't do much of it.  I sit a lot.  I weigh too much, and it's starting to have negative effects.  I did weight watchers 10 years ago and got down to my medically acceptable top weight of 195 but I'm back in the 260 territory again now.  I have body image issues.  I really don't like what I look like, clothed or not.  I'm 6'3" and I'm told I carry it well, but I really want to do this for me.  But much like giving up the cigarettes, I want to be a positive role model for my kids rather than a dire warning.  Can't wait to start level grinding and questing with you guys in the next cycle.   -AL

Next challenge starts in the new year I believe ... should be a good time!
