A Fresh New Start

I know all of my friends have already read enough about me to know my recent past. For everyone else, I will give a breif recap. I grew up quite athletic. At the age of nineteen I was a fourth degree black belt in karate and was very much into fitness, specifically weight training. I got married in my early twenties and after my son was born, I pretty well gave up on my fitness persuit.

A year and a half ago, I hit rock bottom for me. I was over 230 pounds and looked like I was pregnant, not too attractive in a man. My wife lost the physical attraction aspect of our relationship, she no longer wanted to jump my bones, so I decided to do something about it.

Over the past year and a half I have completely changed the way I live, I don't call it a lifestyle, I call it life. I have gone from a 230 pound whale with 30% body fat to a 195 pound god with less than 10% body fat. No small feat for such a short amount of time.

I am starting this blog to help me keep my perspective on what I have accomplished and what I want to accomplish. I hope that what I have learned in the past and all of the things I will learn in the future will help others to become better at their own physical endeavors. If one person takes something from me and it helps them, then I will be satisfied that this blog has served it's purpose.
