Why I Got Started
The reason I started was simple. I was tired of looking at myself and seeing a large out of shape middle aged man. I have never in my life lifted weights or been real big into working out. I was one of those people who went to the gym and was to embarrassed to do it.

I Was Embarassed To Go To The Gym.As I got older I found it easier to gain weight and less motivated to want to lose it. After the beginning of the year I was just having enough! I wanted to do something but did not know how to go about it. I started trying to eat better; you know cut out the soda's, eat salad and fruit.
One day at work I was talking with a guy who lifted. We talked about nutrition and working out (James Gonzalaz). That was the push I needed, he pointed me in the right direction as far as how to eat better and gave me a web sight (bodybuilding.com) for more information. On March 7th of this year I started going to the gym with him and now I love having a healthier life.
How I Did It
It was a complete change in my life. A combination of going to the gym and eating better. No more could I have a bowl of cereal before bed. Gone where those 3 to 6 cans of soda a day. After work I let my couch have a rest and sat my butt in the weight room or in the cardio room.

10 Weeks - 12 Weeks - 6 Months.I ended up changing in stages, first I starting going to the gym and cutting out some bad food, next I started adding supplements, then I really started to change my food habits on a more permanent basis. Now and again I will eat out, maybe once every two weeks and have a piece of pizza or something but few and far between.
Sample Diet
Here's is what a day's food intake looked like:
Meal 1 (0800) - 1 serving of oatmeal, 5 egg whites and 1 hole egg, and two pieces of turkey bacon
Meal 2 (1100) - Chicken or tuna, about 40 cabs worth, and brown rice. 1 scoop of whey protein
Workout Time
Meal 3 (1500) - More chicken or tuna, again 40 carbs worth, and oatmeal with some honey. 1 scoop of whey protein
-
Meal 4 (1800) - Lean steak, fish or chicken about 50 carbs worth, more brown rice, and some broccoli or other vegetable
Meal 5 (2000) - A shake that had whey protein, eggs, and some other great things
Multi-vitamin - one pack of Universal Animal Pak a day, and L-glutamine with my meal 3 protein
Supplements - Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein, NO-Xplode one half hour before my workout, and Lipo-6 as directed
Sample Workout
Workout routine for the week was something like:
- Monday - Chest/Arms
- Tuesday - Cardio + Circuit training
- Wednesday - Back/Arms
- Thursday - Cardio + Circuit training
- Friday - Legs/Abs
- Saturday - Off
- Sunday - Mild cardio + Circuit training
I change my workout about every 3 to 4 months to keep the muscles and body guessing. I just started a workout for mass that I found on this page. I have made some adjustments for myself. And lastly this sight has lots of good info so why not use it.
