Finding My Motivation: Pretty Sore today..

Pretty Sore today..

Got up late this morning...the deadlifts did it in for me, so I skipped any workouts today and took this as an off day. Much needed.

So not much to report on this side but some Happy Hour downtown tomorrow with some coworkers which should be fun!

Haven't had a drink in sometime.

Ciao,
Andy

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Andy. I'm 34 years old, married to a loving wife who's tremendous support has helped me continue this journey forward. I'm a Registered Nurse, a father of 3 year old twin boys and a new born that will be turning 1 soon. Not busy enough for you? I also work at 2 different institutions as an RN just to meet financial needs to provide for my family...

It would be so easy to pinpoint these reasons alone as not to want to make a healthier lifestyle because anyone can easily say "my life is just way too busy right now"...Excuses? Not anymore.

The road to a healthier lifestyle was tough. I wasn't born overweight...but did have periods in my life where eating took the best of me. I was in a very unhealthy state of being. Living on the edge was something common at the time in my early adulthood. Enthusiasm to live a healthier lifestyle was lost in the mix as a result of that. In 2006 and with a fairly young family to boot, I made a decision that this lifestyle had to change for fear of never making it to see my own kids' children one day...otherwise it would literally be a dead end for me. Losing weight is probably the most toughest decision to make from a personal standpoint and I'm sure others will agree. To make the decision, to plan it out and to act on it consistently is key. But what really motivated me to want to achieve my fat loss goals? What is that one reason why I wanted to lose weight? That's a tough question very few will ever find in themselves. It's takes a conscious effort to begin with and a desire from within to make it work. It takes alot of motivation from your loved ones, you friends and most importantly: from the person you see in the mirror everyday. That was my motivation and I am continuously looking for more motivation to carry on with this journey - so I welcome everybody's comments and suggestions. As goals get reached, plateaus are broken...how hard can finding my motivation in a consistent basis keep me on the right track towards a better me and a better life not only for me but those dear to me?

In 2006 I was extremely overweight...care free and when it came to losing weight, I was always the one to put it off. Then a good friend of mine re-introduced me to working out so I got a gym membership in July of 2006 and from 217 lbs, I dropped to 180 in a span of about a year...slowly but gradually I noticed the changes were showing. But I needed more motivation to carry on. That's when I came to this program that really works . I can attest, this is by far the best kept secret in fitness that money can buy...

That's right..I'll be living proof of that. Talk is talk...pictures say a thousand words...Simply look at the pictures in my blog to see how this program worked for me...

Want a fast and efficient way to lose weight in less than 45 minutes for all you busy mom's and dad's and everyone in between? Click HERE for the answer and order now!

No more gimmicks...no more diet pills/supplements that never work... and most of all no more B.S. health lies! This is what really started the foundation for me to stay motivated and keep going.

Welcome and enjoy my blog!
