Taking on The Fit Basterd!

It's hard for me to admit it. Really hard. I'm aware of the progress I've made and could not be happier. I'm very proud of myself for taking back my life.

That's why it's hard for me to admit it. If we can't be completely honest about my successes and my struggles, then what's the point of living and trying to grow?


So, what's so hard for me to admit, you ask?


I've been in a rut for a while - too long!

Truth be told, I was so bummed that I missed my goal last month that I stopped working out two weeks before it came. I've still kept my diet very clean (except for Christmas dinner) but I've had no motivation to consistently work out. I've had a few workouts but not many.

Feel free to chastise me all you want - it will pale in comparison to the lashing I gave myself! I needed a good swift kick in the rear - and got it!

Every year my very good friend from college and I get together to do some goal setting. It's a lunch that lasts nearly five hours and essential to who we are. We've been doing it for over 15 years. Talks like that are really good to get down to the core of your being - at least talks with him are for me.

OK - to the point.

I've decided to start the Fit Basterd's 365 day workout plan. Scott Tousignant has an incredible plan and the introductory workout tonight completely kicked my butt!

I talked my roommate into following the program with me. He's seen my whole transformation and has dropped over 30 pounds through osmosis. He wants to bulk up, so do I and it seemed like a good fit.

About today's workout: It was chest and back and as an example of how good it was - I can't even hold the phone up to my ear for more than 5 minutes without switching hands because my biceps hurt! Yes, it's been too long since a good workout.

Thanks, Scott - you bastard!
