Let me start by introducing myself, I'm Michael and I'm fat. Not with a PH, but with a F. This is basically because I became complacent and lazy. I joke around and blame my wife for the weight gain, but the responisiblity is completely on me. However, I have decided to change all that and while my progress has be slow, it is progress none the less.
I began in Feburary or 2010 with a membership to Gold's Gym, where I've been doing light training. I'll admit, that I was all Gung-Ho about it at the start, then slowly lost my motivation around June/July of 2010. I trained periodically, but nothing spectacular. I even signed up for Warrior Dash (http://www.warriordash.com) in Windham, NY, which at the time, beat the crap out of me. I got back into a groove, but then found myself floating through workouts with no real agenda, even though I signed up for Tough Mudder (http://toughmudder.com) on 11/12/2011 in Englishtown, NJ. That was until I did the Spartan Sprint (http://www.spartanrace.com) on Saturday, 06/04/2011 in Tuxedo, NY. That challenge lit the fire under my ass to get me going again to train for Tough Mudder, I’ve even signed up for the Super Spartan on 09/24/2011 in Staten Island, NY as a pre-TM measure.
Anyway, that’s a little backstory, so let’s get started...
