I have talked so many times about how I was going to get in real good shape for the coming summer, only to get sidetracked and never quite reach the goal. I have been in 'good' shape, but never quite REALLY good shape by my definition.
This year, I said it was my goal and I was on a great track. I Started in the fall, but 8 months ago and then got rear-ended. Fractured spine and 2-bulging and my l5-s1 disk displaced pushing on my S1 nerve screwed me all kinds. Ended up putting on 20lbs (knowingly) since I was making myself distracted from the pain by just eating a bunch of junk.
I snapped myself back on track in Jan and have been informally 'dieting' since. No tracking, no cardio, just eating consistently how I know I need to. @ItalianMuscle wont like to hear me say it, but I still eat icecream 2-3 times a week, and yes, Friday is still pizza night. Still eating mexican food out at restaurants now and again....and one of my go-to at home lunches has been making my own deep fried chicken strips. (I found a chickfila knockoff recipie online and make them once or twice a week for lunch since I work from home).
I got a little sun yesterday. Pic is cold and "relaxed" except for I am flexing my abs. If I flex upper body, striations have come in nicely through chest and shoulders.
I still have a way to go, but I am on the path to reach it I feel. (if I dont screw up and can stay on path). I really think I can achieve this and want to for the first time ever see the goal through. Most of my body is very lean. Legs are always the leanest, Just hoping to chisel away at the last bits of torso fat which I have not been able to shed in the last 10 years.
Maybe before I hit 50!
