Resurrecting an old fart

Hiya

I went to gyms a few times fleetingly when younger, later descended to slobbery, and now am training with a vengeance after feeling really dreadful from lack of exercise and bad diet.

This time around I am loving training, and have a pretty good diet. Especially love weight training, do a bit of boxing training, and cardio. I feel as though I have crossed over that threshold where it is now a holistic lifestyle change.

Started at about 91kg a little over a year ago, now around the 80-81 mark, and that might be close to my ideal if I lower the fat % a bit more and add some muscle. My training is really accelerating since I got a personal trainer. He's sadistic but a really cool guy and ideal for me.

Good seeing lots of other motivated people on here encouraging and supporting each other.

    All right you two!!! There is no way either of you qualify as "old farts" because you are both YOUNGER than I AM!!!:noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Isn't there a rule somewhere that "fartdom" doesn't start until you are past 65, or maybe it was 100?....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Seriously, wishing both of you every success.:flowerforyou:

    I like the way you think weaklink:bigsmile: Maybe "fartdom" is a state of mind that will improve with our success here!!

    OK then, I admit to being a young whipper-snapper.

    My age thing is a bit tongue in cheek, I've never felt better. So let's just make a pact to feel good for life, how ever many years that might be.

    Good to meet you all.
