re: Arkansas health and fitness thread

6'1" 235

between vacationing to Chicago a couple weeks before thanksgiving and then christmas and new year celebrations I have put on 15 lbs. Sucks. stupid calories and laziness.

It's been a long road for me. I was always pretty heavy but got real fat in college (2001-2006). Don't know if they still do but Eureka had their 3 small one topping pizzas for $7 deal and kraft easy mac had just come out when I was on the hill. got up to 285. stayed that way until my first child came (2008). Got motivated to be healthy for him and got down to 220. Ultimate goal is right at 200.

Lost the first 40lbs with weight lifting and eliptical/treadmill.

lost the rest doing Insanity. That shite is nuts, to me. but it works.

just bought a sweet arse power rack for my garage and am eager to sort of create a nice routine for myself.

goal workout is 5-7 days a week depending on level of motivation and time available . Lift MWF, Insanity T,Sat, Run 2-3 mi Th, Sun.

I believe in doing something for at least 20-30 min everyday. I realize this workout schedule could burn a person out, but it really shouldn't be too hard to find the motivation to run a couple miles or at least do the warm up and stretch of insanity on an "off" day
