Im Back

Kinda trying to decide of I should invite people here, or if I will bore them to death. :)

I found this guy @ the gym who is a sprinter and former personal trainer. He is gonna help train me for free. :) Of course my awesome improvements will be an advertisement for him. I think that I have a lot of strengths that will help me meet my goal of being a fitness competitor one day:

-I have a strong physique naturally. I have good definition all over, from my shoulders down to my calves. I am capable of getting more ripped, even on a calorie deficit. But my frame is not huge, so I don't look bulky. I can lift pretty decent weights.

- I have learned to discipline my eating. There is always room for improvement. But I have a better idea than most people I know of how to eat properly. I realize that if I eat bad, it will make it hard on me to meet my goals. You can eat 600 extra calories in a few minutes that take 2 hrs in the gym to work off. My trainer will not have to harp on me for sneaking to McDonald's. I wanted to do this a few years back, but my eating was not up to par. I am ready to tackle both ends together now.

- Mental toughness. I am competitive, energetic and willing to do what it takes @ the gym.

- I set goals and complete them

But there are some weaknesses I have to work around:

- A torn labrum and bone spur in my hip along with undiagnosed pain in the knee.

- Busy busy: 40 hrs of work a week, 2 graduate classes and music practices. Along with a needy demanding dog that tortures me if I don't take him out for walks, and spend time with him.

I am 148.8 lbs today. BMI 24.7. I want to get to 140, but my main focus will be on continuing to transform my body. Get into my size 4 pants and get my body fat % down.
