Okay, now for the accountability portion. But first, the beginning of this journey from earlier this year. In June I had a physical and the most amazing result came back. My blood glucose was 106 and my cholesterol was considered fair. I have exercised off and on for the past three years so that I would have considered myself relatively healthy so this was a bit of a surprise. I studied up on cholesterol and determined it is really not that bad. I studied up on diabetes and determined that signs were appearing and so cut out the sugar and upped the exercise; mostly cardio with some weight training. Continued research led me to the Paleo diet and I have noticed that even though I am not quite 100% Paleo those pesky fat bags on my sides have mostly gone away. Now, when I did weight training more seriously about three years ago for about 5 months I found I enjoyed it. Unfortunately over time I allowed life to intrude. Back to today and waiting for the latest blood test results I have a renewed interest in weight lifting and hence I am here.
As my profile states, I am 47 and I am not a big person and not real sure my genetics will allow me to really bulk up. But that is not going to stop me from trying and I will use this to track what I am doing and my progress. Also, by posting what I am doing here ya'll will hopefully provide me some guidance. I will gladly take constructive criticism that shows me the path to progress, so give it to me straight. I have some pictures of my scrawny a$$ for the before that I will post shortly and tomorrow I will be able to provide numbers from the gym.
