Mission Possible II? Why I Started This Blog
G'Day Sportsfans,
I am an Aussie living and working in Japan, who is quite frankly fed up with not being in shape. In a "previous life" 6 years ago I was in great shape reaching a bodyfat of 7% down from 17% after doing an intense 12 week program. I continued to train hard 6 days a week for the next 10 months and maintained a lean shape.
Even though I was proud of my achievement I still didn't really know anything about fitness. I just followed the same program 6 days a week, it never even occurred to me that I could mix it up a little.
Boredom and tiredness soon set in to the point where one morning I just said "stuff it!" and decided to sleep in. That little sleep-in turned into days, then weeks and then months. By the time I had woken from my slumber I was back up to 20% bodyfat.
You know what happens next...apathy, self-pity and guilt consumed me. "After all that hard work, how could I just let myself go like that!"
Man, I am so sick of living in the past. It's time for me to get real. Right now my bodyfat is again at 20% which I am actually happy with because I really "blew out" to proportions so huge you would feel physically ill if you saw those pics. Maybe in the future I'll post them, not sure yet.
Starting today it's time for me to "pull the trigger" and go hard for 12 weeks. I'm talking about the whole package: cardio, weights and nutrition.
Peace, AJ
