Getting things back into focus...

I've decided it is time to get back into high gear for improving my diet, active lifestyle, athletic abilities and getting ripped!! I've been keeping up on my workouts, but my diet has been slacking the past few months which has resulted in a  few unwanted pounds creating a sheet of fat over the muscles. What happened to that shredded look I worked so hard for? A fun summer of carb-filled meals and sugary alcoholic drinks had done me in!

I am creating this journal so that I can blog about what I have accomplished for the day. It is to keep myself on track, my goals in sight and everything in focus. It will allow me to put my thoughts on paper, record what I've accomplished for the day and look back to see my improvements. I'm looking to see improvements in my strength, stamina and physique. 

It is not a diet. It is not a final destination. It is a lifestyle that will take me on a lifelong journey. I'm going to be one mean, lean, athletic machine!

Stay Strong!
