My roommate was reading digg.com in class and came across John's pics. He knew that I was working out so he showed them to me. Needless to say, I was impressed by John's dedication so I became part of the "heavy traffic" that flocked to this site to snoop around. :whistle: Anywho, a little about me...
*cue theme music*
In the beginning there was me, 9lbs 10oz and 22inches long. My Mom, she's 5'2":eek:, about had a heart attack giving birth to me and came close to strangling my dad with her hand. Fortunately, they both survived. What does this have to do with anything you ask? Well, not much--I thought I'd just throw that in there because I always thought it was a funny story:lol:.
Anyways, I did a lot of research prior to looking around the forums. It took me awhile to sift through all the fad health crap but I think I feel a little more comfortable about this new "hobby" of mine. My main goal was just to eat all the clean foods that I've always enjoyed, but do it consistently. I ate fast food not because I really wanted to. I did so due to the absence of planning. My college days are coming to a close and food was a chaotic part of my life that I wanted to organize. Further, I enjoy strength training. I decided to consistently do both. I'm a bit sad really. My spare tire that I've been carrying around since I was born is going to melt off:D.
I'm currently doing a 2 day split workout (lower/upper) 3 days a week. The rest of the week, I'm doing intense cardio for about 45min. I'll incorporate some HIIT into my routine as soon as I get into a little better shape. As far as food goes, I showed the amount of food I was eating to my my roommate and we both laughed at the bulk I have to consume. I wouldn't be able to get all my calories without a whey supplement. I set my intake to 1900-2200 at the 20/40/40 ratio.
Lastly, my current stats are in my profile window (soon to change however). I'm not sure about my BF. I just compared my subcutaneous fat amount to other peoples pics and made a rough guess.
Just wanted to give a shout out before I decide to post anywhere else and say thanks for the useful site!:tu:
