I am 42 years old and have an 11 year old son, happily married, too! I weighed in at 226 pounds for years. In 2001, I changed my eating habits and started exercising. It took me a year and a half, but I lost 96 pounds eating
a lowfat, low calorie (between 1200-1300) diet. I was able to stay between 130-135 for about 2 years, but I have been steadily climbing for awhile and am up to 178.

I'm starting a journal to have everything I'm doing in one place. It will be nice just to scroll down and see what I have been up to!

Here goes:

Starting weight: 178

Here is what I did today. This is the second day of a new routine. (I am awaiting my copy of the "New Rules of Lifting.") I did the push workout yesterday.

10/30/07
Pull:
db curl:
5x25
6x25
5x25
crunches on ball:
3x12
cheater chins:
3,5,4
close grip pull-down:
6x90, 3 sets
barbell row:
6x80, 3 sets

10 minutes on treadmill at 3.6 mph with a 6% incline. Wanted to do more but ran out of time. Later walked 1.6 miles with family.

Here is how I ate today:
Total: 1571
Fat: 48
Carbs: 184
Fiber: 21
Protein: 105

Protein and fat could probably be higher.
