Why I created this blog?!?!?!

Well I am considering writeing a book about health and fitness. I think their is one problem though and it is big! I am not healthy and fit anymore. Sure I was a national level athlete in the USA. I have competed and won on the regional level as well. I have traveled and competed internationaly. The problem though is that no matter how great my accomplishments no one is going to take advice from some one that "was great" especialy if they are out of shape now! So I decided to put my thoughts into practice and get back into shape. Along the way I am going to share my thoughts, my idea's and my workouts. I will use this blog to hash out my thoughts for the book I am planning on writeing.

I hope that others will take notice and join me in this goal. You will see that I am not the picture of health and prosperity and am quite out of shape. I have a bad knee with torn cartilage and an ankle that has been surgicaly repaired to a degree! I have rip that likes to pop out of place due to a bad car accident and a broken toe! I am so grossly over weight that it is not funny. Oh and my heart has some wireing issues and a leaky mitral valve on the left ventrical. Yes I have been cleared to exercise. Oh I almost forgot I take medicine for high blood pressure. So if I can do this any one can. I have found that people are always keen to make excuse's! Instead of focusing on what you are unable to do focus on what you can do and then make evrything else work for you. As humans our greatest skill is bending our environment to suit us. We are creators and inavators so do not ever let the fact that you can not do a particular movement get you down their is always an alternative or some way to work around an injury!!

So in the begining I will have a lot of posts that will cover general fitness knoldge topics. It would be hard for me to expect anyone to follow me if they have no idea what I am talking about. I will be takeing daily digital photos and posting as well. THis way at the end of the program we can run the stills at speed and see the transformation happen about like time lapsed photographer like you saw in school witht he flower growing from a seed to full bloom n like a minute!

My book is going to be about how I think anyone from a child to an old man like myself can recreate themselfs in the image of health and fitness. Sure some people have a genetic leg up on the fitness ladder but I know that great athletes are created not born. All of us can improve of state of fitness. If you want larger muscles I gurantee you can have larger muscle. This does not mean that you will look like a professional bodybuilder though! I can gurantee that you can increase your strength well beyound that of the average man or woman. You can get as lean as you choose to get as well. The best part is that you can choose when you stop loseing fat, when you stop increaseing muscle mass, how strong you want to be. It is all about the choices we make.

I am not saying it is going to be easy! I am not going to say it will be fun at first either! In time it does get easier and things become fun. In the begining your friends and family will try to sabotage you if you let them! People at work wil think you are wasteing your time and should just buy bigger pants. No one can make you do this. I can tell you this much you will feel better about yourself each day that goes buy and you are makeing a change in your life! As you lose fat or gain muscle or both people will notice especialyt he oposite sex! People can say what they want but our brains are programed to lust after those we find attractive physicaly not the person with the best personality or the sharpest witt or the bigest bank account! THose other things all come latter or they are things we settle for because we do not think we are hansome enough,buff enough,sexy enough to get what we really want! Do not get me wrong all those other things are more important inthe long run in a lasting relationship but they do not get the opposite sex to approach you at a bar or the grocery store or church it is all about the image you project.

Well that enough for today! Monday the 23 of June I will have the wife take some photos of myself in shorts for the the day 1 shots. Tune in tomorrow for my first true article.
