Progress...
I don't talk about this much but last year I decided to make a change after a lot of things just went wrong. One of those changes was actually joining a gym. I know that I didn't really see that coming but I just needed some control over something. At first I just used it as something to get the stress out. Then it just turned into something after the first fitness test.
Stats 1 year ago:
Wt.: 212 lbs.
Body fat: 12%
Waist Size: 38 in.
Not a good thing...not to mention that my blood pressure was through the roof and stress was turning me into a nervous wreck. At that point I realized that too many things were running my life instead of me. Not to mention that I was looking like a slob.
Now things are very, very different...and that's a good thing.
Wt.: 202 lbs.
Body Fat: 12%
Waist Size: 34 in.
Okay, the weight and body fat thing kind of threw me off for a little bit but I talked with a trainer. It turns out that I gained a little more muscle than I thought, otherwise I'd be below 200. I also gained a little more definition and lost a couple of inches along the way. Personally I didn't pay much attention to those things. God knows that can turn a little too obsessive.
I know this may be a minor thing to blog about but I'm proud that I'm getting myself into decent shape. Now my goal is to drop below 200 and see what I can do from there. I'm not turning into a gym rat but I just want to stay in shape for my own sake.
