Why I'm Doing This

On August 8, 2010, I had to have an operation on my back to repair two herniated disks.  The surgery alleviated the pain but I was home for six weeks and gained 20 pounds.  Last month I was given the green light to resume working out.

I've always concentrated more on lifting heavier weights and getting big as opposed to less weights, more reps and slimming down.  It dawned on me that since I'm now in my forties, a more lean look is what I should strive for.  It was obvious that I had to switch up my routine.

While discussing this with my family, it was suggested to me that I start a blog to add transparency to my journey.  There's also the fact that a lot of my forty something year old friends are looking for ways to lose weight and keep it off.

Well this is the beginning of the journey and the hardest part.  If you stick with this blog, stay motivated and we can get fit together and get rid of that unwanted 10, 20, 25, 30 pounds.
