2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

[Rules]

January 1st, 2012 (Today)

Let's make 2012 our fittest year ever! Post your situation and your goals so that we can help track and motivate one another to having a healthier and happier life.

My goal is to reduce stress by eating healthier and exercising more.

Being in law enforcement it is not easy dealing with stress. This past year I packed on a few pounds around the midsection. I was skipping meals, eating poorly, not exercising as much and this led to having super high stress virtually ever day. It didn't take long before I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. Married with two children in college, this 40 year old wants to get back to running 4 miles per day and adding muscle while torching fat. I will be eating small healthy meals every 2-3 hours and I encourage any and all feed back along the way.

Today I will start P90x and run / jog/ walk 4 miles this evening. Tomorrow morning I will begin my day by running at 70% of my maximum heart rate for 25 minutes on a treadmill before going into work. I will prep the next two days worth of food so that I have it handy.

Thanks and have a Happy New Year to each of you and your families!!!

My goal is to go from looking like this.



to this...


but seriously I do want to try and pack on atleast 10-15 lbs of muscle.. maybe more but got to stay with short term goals. I've already gained 10 lbs since I started eating healthier, more regularly. I resolve to lift harder than I ever had, doing good so far and staying motivated.

I got an ipod nano, and I am really digging this. It really keeps you motivated.

I am hoping to be able to run a marathon at years end. It's been about 10 years since I was in good enough shape to run one.

Goal to get back into football shape, which is about another 10lb of muscle and dropping some of the fat i've gained.

The biggest thing in the fall for me was adjusting to my schedule as I had more classes in the day and was always just too lazy to go work out. Got some more early classes this semester so my plan is to go after my first class in the morning.

I'm actually in pretty good shape cardio wise as i've been helping my one of my good friends train to try to walk on the football team just need to cut some weight and gain some muscle.

At 5'9" 170lbs right now. The rough part will be trying to figure out a leg workout routine that revolves around not roughing up my knees.

I'm dedicating to the diet of reshape the nation, and the work out of Body by Science.

Also, after a year rehabbing from my torn ACL, I'll be back on the pitch in mid february/early march.
