Phase 2 - Rob's Quest for a Six Pack

Wow has it ever been a while since I've posted to this blog!

I’ve really let my nutrition and training slip the past few months. I could list reasons and excuses but it would not change the fact that 20 pounds have crept back on – nearly 10 from all the partying in Miami a month ago. The mirror is becoming the enemy again.

Bottom line is, I lost my motivation. I don’t know how or why. I am not proud of myself. I’m putting an end to that!

I spent nearly all of last weekend preparing for T2 – Transformation TWO!!! The gym in the basement got shrouded with rubble from the roommate swap – NO MORE! I had grown accustomed to calling the pizza dude on the weekends – NO MORE! I felt myself slipping into old habits I thought had been put to rest – NO MORE!

Goals have been set! They are pretty emotional. Too personal to share all the details here. A timer goes off in my bedroom very early to trigger a spotlight, illuminating life-sized poster with my goal physique and instructions to get on the bike.

You are officially authorized to support me in any way you see fit – including nagging and general pestering!

How's it going, it's been almost a month since your phase 2 post. Yes, I'm a total stranger just nosing in your business lol. Not sure how I found my way here, some clicking from the BFFM inner circle. But I started reading some of your posts and they hit home with me. Anyway, just wanted to leave a msg and say hope you're doing ok and I look forward to reading more from you.

I hope you're going consistent and strong. If not, how would you like me to support you? I know you've used others' support before.

Your interview with Scott T changed my life. I keep going when I really don't want to, because you've kept going -if Rob can do it, I'll do it; Your focus and determination are inspiring. I think of your light coming on at 4.30 and you going somewhere to do something you hate. And so I do the same (except not at 4.30; I'm not big enough to do that). Your interview is on my MP3 and I go back to it often.

And you've just helped me again; I've been searching for something like the Cardiocoach for years. Thank you.

Now, how are you doing? What can we do to help?
