Default 28 in 08

28 yrs old is not ancient, but being out of shape is starting to make me feel that way. So this is my journal to keep me acountable.

A little about me, was very thin as a kid, lazy and chunky as a teenager, played some sports and started weight lifting/jogging in college so was fairly in shape again. About two years ago I started working shift work out of town, no close gym access, didn't have time to play sports anymore, and have a very easy job where there is tons of food around = gaining 50 lbs. Now I did realize this was happening (how could you not when you need to buy new clothes every few months), but only made a few half-hearted efforts before going back to being busy at work and eating whatever I wanted.

The Plan
Do the women's challange, follow NROL4W through the whole book after I get back from vacation, learn how to cook healthier meals (I love to cook, but it resembles more barefoot contessa then anything healthy).
I have collected a treadmill, exercise bike, natilus gym, and some free weights the last few years so now I just need to use them.


So next years goals are obviously to change my body composition, run a 5K, get my lifts back to where they were 110 lb chest press and whatever a 200lb smith squat would equal in a barbell squat now that I now about free weights, maybe 120 lbs.

Random New Year's Resolutions
-remeber to floss once a day
-go camping at least twice this summer, and hike into Monkman lake once
-continue taking guitar lessons
-get my firearms posession license
-finish my third class steam ticket
-finish renovating my basement
-Say no to people more often and try to have a less hectic schedule
-Sleep more regular amounts, less weeks of 4 hrs and then trying to make it up with 15 hrs for a few days
