Intro/Where I'm at

Yay, it’s another blog from Adam!!!

This one, is all about getting in shape.   I’ve decided to take part in Scooby’s 2014 contest:  http://scoobysworkshop.com/get-fit-in-2014-win-1000-dollars/

Hopefully this blog will serve as my credibility requirement (and yes, I intend to follow the rules to the letter).

So let’s talk a little bit about where I’m at…  before last night, it had been nearly a year (June 2013) since last I exercised, or watched my diet.  During that time, my routine was pretty much as follows:  Wake up, go to work (behind a desk), come home veg out, fall asleep. Read: zero exercise.  To make matters worse, up until last week, I was eating horribly…  lunch usually consisted of a bacon cheeseburger, fries and soda…  dinners often pizza, weekend breakfast was at a greasy spoon.  Oh, and I’ve been drinking and smoking (a lot)….  Minimum of 12-18 bottles of craft beer (7%+ abv) weekly, and at least a half a pack of cigarettes a day. 

The net result, I’ve felt terrible.  I get home tired, I’ve got zero energy to do anything. Recently, I’ve had more than a few friends and family comment that my weight is out of control.  As of my last weigh in, I was 215lbs @ 26% bodyfat (note this measurement is taken by an electronic scale, so I’m sure it’s not cannon, but it’s there for reference)… to put that in prospective, I’m 32 and 5’11”.  Also, I’ve had crazy bad heartburn and acid reflux (that I take Zantac OTC for).


Long story short my current lifestyle is not sustainable, and this blog is about changing that.
