Congratulations man, I always feel better after going for a nice run in the morning.  Just something about getting your heart beating keeps you pumped all day. Best of luck to you.

I'm still trying to talk myself out of going from time to time, but I go anyway. I want it to be more of a daily habit/routine, not a c. I'm in the middle right now. I can tell a big difference already.  Thanks for the support Chuck !!! That stuff really does help with the motivation.

As I'm sure that you know, going to a gym (or just working out) needs to just be what you do.  It needs to be as routine as going to work or anything else that you do regularly. 

Congrats on your progress ---- and this is my support for you.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate that. I actually missed going today due to finishing the Cobra intake on the Sport. I really felt almost guilty. I'll make up for it tomorrow. No doubt about it.

so any updates.... I started my diet around the same time you did yours,(but I had to take 4 months off due to my back injury). I'm down 45 lbs since I started and went from 25% body fat down to 16% body fat.I got a trainer that shaved the last 20lbs and leaned me up real good. I have the diet plan if anyone wants it, it works awesome.

Whats on the diet plan? Wife became a diabetic and we eat pretty well accordingly but gets hard to decide what to eat with what, can't eat bread with pasta like we used to or as much bread as we used to.

I'm down about 30 pounds, eating well most of the time. I can't get to the gym as much as I want do to the job (12 hour shifts 4 to 5 days a week), so, gotta find time to run, lift my own weights and some cardio. I feel great, and still have my cat like reflexes.

I love the gym as well, but due to hours at work, no time most of the time. So, insta gym at home. My "eye of the tiger" time.

Don't think i could do that diet lol^

My main problem is portion sizes and an irish love of potatoes. I'm not to bad of shape, 5'10 or so. 210, but I wear a size 32x32 pants and med to large shirts, and only reason I wear large is my chest and arms fit snug in a med. I'd like to be 230 of muscle but haven't had time to lift in years since getting a "real" job.

Also in reference to eye of the tiger,
Talking about how to make 80's songs better, this one is about eye of the tiger.
The Only Way It Could Be Better:
Tone it down a little, for the love of god! Nearly everything is unbelievably dangerous while listening to "Eye of the Tiger." Here s a little exercise that illustrates perfectly what this song is capable of. Think of the weakest, most pedestrian c you can do, for example, doing laundry. Now play "Eye of the Tiger" in the background. If, by the end of that spin cycle you haven t managed to somehow kill a grizzly bear with fabric sheets or make sweet love to every woman within 40 yards, then you need to see a coroner because you apparently died the night before.
