A Mind and Body Experiment: My personal transformation - 2010

Greetings, friends and strangers.... if there is anyone out there.

As you can probably tell, this blog has been sorely neglected. That is about to change. Currently, we have a young man living with us, who has been a "personal trainer". His certification has lapsed, and in order to re-certify, he needs a test subject to put through a routine, keeping a record... both written and visual... of the transformation of that subject. So, to benefit science, and my personal well being, I have volunteered to be that subject.

Over the course of the last year, I have gained a few pounds, and have had very little success shedding those pounds. Beginning Monday, March 15th, I will changing my diet and exercising habits in an extreme manner. I will spend the better part of the next three months putting my body through things that it has never been through. Chances are, I will be sore through most of that time. This may impact my career (I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Postal Service), but I am determined to follow through. My wife (who is a fitness buff) has always commented that I have the same body shape as Vin Diesel, of whom she openly has a "crush". It is my goal to have a similar physique, at the end of the three months.

So, in order to document everything that happens, this blog will be the home of my transformation. I will keep a weekly journal, complete with photographs, explaining what I have done, and how much weight has been lost. So, please come back and visit. Visit often, and if you feel so inclined, feel free to leave an encouraging comment...... because chances are, I'm going to need them.
