Yes this is my first post. However I have been following the JP board off and on for the past 2 years or so. Much of my inspiration comes from many of you on here. And now here I am buckling down and starting a log for myself. I hope this way I can keep a better track of my progress rather than all those numbers put to paper only to have my 2 year old use them for his "art projects". So a bit about myself....
Age: 34
Weight: 177.2 lbs
Height: 5'10"
bf (based on my Tantia scale): 19% (seems to me this sounds high.. but its a number to go by)
I started training about 4 years ago. Prior to that I never really did any workout routines and I just wasn't very active. But once I hit 30 and had my first son I decided it was time to put my health into perspective.
I recently completed HGM. This by far was an excellent routine and I would recommend this to anyone. I very much enjoyed having a new routine to look forward to every month. Half way through HGM I picked up NROL and was eager to start working on it.
So now I am on week 3 of the intermediate Break-in phase of NROL. However do to all my colleagues at work coming down with a cold, they were kind enough to give it to me.
So I am thinking in the next day or two to be back in business.
Things I need to work on:
Diet. I find myself under eating most of the time. I do eat clean 90% of the time, however, I just don't eat enough. I need to start eating much more fruits and vegetables and keep a closer eye on my protein intake.
Form. Most of the time I do have good form. However when I am trying for new personal bests, I tend to have tunnel vision and just do the motions so that I can say I was able to do it. I need to work on telling myself thats its okay to lower the weights to do it right, rather than risk an injury.
Goals:
Drop body fat percentage. I would love to get in the 10 or below range however to be more realistic for now... 15%
So with all that being said, I hope to be starting, and actively working on daily/weekly logs to keep an eye on my progress.
