As some of you may have seen DoImakeyourandys success story thus far, he's is doing a great job and awesome motivation for me. We go to the gym at least 5 days a week. Starting at the beginning of this year (We won't count the 2 weeks in December simply for the fact that it was terrifying how out of shape we both were). So since January we have been committed to this 100%.
My goal starting off was simply based on cardio, however things have changed since then. I am still chasing my running goal which is 500 miles in a year. I am currently at 164 miles with 9 months to go! Since then though I have focused a lot on lifting.
I was sick of people always joking around and poking fun at me of "Oh you have man boobs", it may not seem like that big of a deal but it always really got to me and brought my confidence down a lot. The only excuse I had was that it was the way I was "Built" but the reality was that I didn't exercise and my eating habits were terrible.
Well, anyway I'm not a 100% there, but I'm proud of how far I've come and I look forward too the next 9 months!
I don't have much of a before picture as I wasn't really thinking about it but here we go.

I'm feeling good and a lot more confident!
