Accountability, About me

My name is Mike. Here's my short story.. I made the decision to live a healthier lifestyle back in December of 2012 when I weighed in at 247lbs. In school, I was always involved in sports and was always active. I never had to eat right or make time for exercise, it was just part of my daily routine with football practice, weight training, etc.

A few years, a 50 hour work week, 2 kids, and a lot of points later I found myself looking in the mirror absolutely disgusted with myself. I went out the next day with a good friend of mine and got a gym membership. Within six months, I lost 40 pounds and felt great. I went through a divorce and picked up a night job, no more gym, no more focus.

I Picked up a few months later right where I left off, I had not gained weight but I had lost some muscle tone. I dropped another 15 pounds, bringing me down to 194. After accepting a position and hour away that requires me to work 55 hours a week, and obtaining custody of my two kids, I found myself in the same predicament. No time to go to the GYM! I eat right, but I'm lacking that gym time. I stepped on the scale today and I'm back up to 202. Pretty irritating.

Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to start hitting the gym NIGHTLY, even if that means sacrificing an hour of sleep. My goal is to hit 175 (The ideal weight for a 6 '3 male.) I'm looking for a group to hold myself accountable to. I figured since I used this app, I may as well start here. More than willing to share workouts, meal plans, etc. I just need that extra motivation and accountability. Anyone interested in teaming up? Let me know.
