Some time ago, I made promises to get back to the gym. I’ve since fallen off
twice for a variety of reasons, mostly work related. I’ve been having not so
good months, however, and haven’t gone to the gym like I should. Enter my trainer,
KG. Apparently, he’s prouder of me than I could ever be, and
worked his magic to get me back in the gym and be obligated to serve as his get my swole on. I started this on Typepad, but I didn’t post enough a
minion
there to make a difference, so I’m bringing beefcake back here.
Without further ado, the breakdown:

As you can tell, I have more work to do. Seeing these numbers here and having
had such a bad day at the doctor today (more to come about that later) have
forced me to get off my ass and start working out again. My goals? Body fat
of 10% or less and weight of 175 pounds by the end of May. It’s gonna kick my
ass, but I’d rather have my ass kicked for a good cause, know what I mean? (Glenn,
C, ‘Nitra, Steph, y’all listenin’?)
Good luck with the gym. I’m getting back to my regular routine myself. I’ve lost weight overall, and firmed up in most places. But my abs remain a challenge.
Good luck with the gym thing… I have been slacking as of late but decided to get back on track last week… I plan on hittin’ it south this summer, and my tight shirts won’t look cute, with fat hanging out of them…
come on bro. You can do better than 175. 185 at a bare minimum.
