New Year Resolution

In 2008 my New Years resolution was to lose weight. That year I went from a size 40 to a size 32 and lost 30 pounds.

In 2009 my New Years resolution was to make a career out of fitness, mid summer of that year I graduated from the American Academy of Personal Training and have been helping other lose weight ever since.

In 2011 my New Years resolution is to compete in the American Ninja Warrior challenge that will undoubtedly be sometime this summer, giving my 6 months to get "warrior ready" to take on the course.

I've built a program that I feel has the needed strength and conditioning to conquer the course. Its a few days into the new year and I'm right on schedule. In addition to a physical program I also have created a nutrition program to help lose as much body fat as I can. I'm going to have my body fat taken next week, my weight as of today is 213.6 pounds, one thing that a majority of the competitors have in common is a small frame, light weight and great strength to body ration. Standing at 6 feet the lightest I can physically be before I start cutting into muscle and other lean body mass parts is somewhere in the 180 ball park.

Obviously I've got a long way to go, but I'm confident that being consistent with the proper nutritional plan and regular exercise that I will reach my goal.

I'm going to make regular updates with this blog to help keep me on track, along with pictures, videos, training information and nutrition information, this is just the beginning, just something to get on paper and get my mind going.
