Fat ain't pretty

You wouldn't leave a giant pimple on your face would you? So why carry around a bunch of unattractive baggage. I used to wake up in the morning feeling ashamed. Now I wake up to an impressive looking body, and a feeling of pride for all my hard work. You can pop fat the same way you would pop a pimple lol. You can release it from your body slowly and safely. You just have to choose to do it. The choice is all yours. Jeet Kune Do can be a great way to start. All you need is a small cheap heavy bag. So get started now, and walk out of the house self confident. Not self conscious.

Elastic cords and a little bit of grit is all you need.

You have everything you need. Its true, you can get started right now. Push ups, even on your knees can be hard if you spread your body out more. Squats are harder than you think, but if you think your a spartan jump squats can be challenging. I prefer running, but it can be rough starting out. Squats will build the basic muscle you need to get started. So you can't do a pull up. Grabbing an elastic cable on both ends, and raising your hands above your head. You can simulate a pull up. You just pull your arms down, and apart like your doing a pull up. Its o.k. if the cord touches your chest. Soon you will be up on a pull up bar, and stronger than ever. Like Ab work of course you do. New research says holding your Abs still is a better muscle activator than crunching them. That is right no more stomach wrinkles. Get on your forearms in push up position, and stay there still don't move better yet squeeze those Abs tight. Pretend there is a hot candle under you that is my favorite mind trick. Speaking of mind tricks don't forget the music rock is my favorite. Another science study said music can reduce your perception of pain. That means a harder workout every time. You could do all these workouts in the bathroom at work in 15 minutes, but I have and I wouldn't recommend it without gloves. So get started there is no excuse not too. Fight for your body, and it will fight for you.

Here I am this year at 170lbs

Now that the weight is gone I have a whole new lifestyle. I look at food more than I used too. I cook all my food now instead of order out. I stay away from wheat, because my wife can't have gluten. It actually isn't that much of a difference. I think if everyone went on a gluten free diet for one week they would see all the junk in their diet instantly. I exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week, but I wish I could do more. I know that rest is as important as training, so I try to get 8 hours a night. I try to vary my workouts to fight boredom. My favorites are jeet kune do and sprinting vs weights, but lifting weight is important to keep up my metabolism. I eat filling foods now so I am rarely hungry. The best stomach fillers are almonds (try dark chocolate), fruits (apples), veggies (celery), whole grains (sweet potato chips), and protien (chicken, milk, whey). Eating healthy and high intensity exercise are the key to keeping weight off, and being healthy for life. I still can't believe I did it, but now I know anything is possible with hard work.
