Well i have been a member of this site for many years however for the past 7 years I have not touched a weight too often as is well shown in my first picture.
I turned 40 in October and was in the worst shape of my life. It really sucks when you cant tie your shoes anymore without having to do some kind of weird sit down bend over lean sideways forward whatever…movement.
Enough was enough so I decided it was time to loose some weight and start enjoying life again. I started to read on T-Mag again and came across the V-Diet write up. My first thought was “this will be way to expensive” however then I had to tell myself that I had spend that kind of money before on way worse things then on my health.
So I bought some supplements in a local (local for us means at least 100km driving one way) store since I didn�??t trust the Canadian customs to actually deliver Biotest products in time. I however ordered some anyway to see if it would show up. It did, so for all Canadians I have ordered a few times now and it all arrived safely and sound including HOT-ROX.
December 10th I started on my adventure to better health I couldn�??t however get used to the thought of having only shakes all day long for such a long time, and I permitted myself to eat one meal a day of real food. I didn�??t take that freedom on all days but on many. The one meal would be lots of green spring mix salad with an olive oil vinegar vinaigrette with hot peppers and some sort of protein. Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, Steak.
Its the first Christmas in a long time that I didn�??t pig out and stuff my face with sweets and other bad things.
I have been living like this now for the past 12 weeks.
I would work out 3 times a week and since I wasn�??t in a Gym for years i figured it would be good to start on a beginners training with the basic lifts. Squats, Dead lifts, Bench, Pushes etc. For the first few weeks I did a 3/3 and then went to a 5/5.
I almost lost 40 lbs. and I feel great.
My goal of course is to see my abs, I figure I need to drop an other 20lbs or so and should be able to reach that before summer comes along. (Summer comes late for us and is very short, 8 months winter and 4 months of bad sledding)
In the beginning I lost weight very quickly but then it slowed down to about 2 lbs a week, I hope I can keep going at that rate.
So now enough talk and I’ll try to post that picture.
