GET A PUMP!

geswek · October 17, 2013, 05:37:25 PM

I just want to share my excitement for my new fond willpower to get back in shape. Most of you don't even really know me--I was an Army soldier, injured in Iraq, and lost my willpower--got medically retired and gained a ton of weight.

Well over the last 3 weeks I've put myself into the gym and it's paying off. I'm starting to shed the weight and gain the muscle. This week I have beat my first goal--15 minutes running on treadmill! I haven't done that in about 8 years, never could.

I take some things to help and without it I would be lost.

ON Hydrowhey (breakfast and after my workout)
MusclePharm Assault (taken 30 minutes before I go to gym, seriously pumps me up and muscles react nicely to it)
Fish oil (twice day, breakfast and dinner)
ON Multi-Vitamin

So for those of you sitting on couch; get up and do it. I'm 300 lbs (well 290 now) and I was able to run for 15 minutes on treadmill.

GET YO'PUMP ON!

BTW; the SHO is still sick as hell and I'm still being harassed by the POPO for being so damn sexy. I've sense given up and just pay the damn tickets, I ain't taking the blacked out windows down.

So what do you suggest for a medicare recipient?

I don't eat breakfast or lunch. I snack & drink wine before dinner and afterwards I eat lots of candy!!!

We take the dog for a walk almost every day. I have figured out that if I mark when he marks, I have more fun!!! So far I haven't been arrested!!!!! LOL

LMAO Bob, I want to meet you one day--you are the funniest old .... I have ever met man!

Yeah, I'm pretty excited right now. It's been a long hard road the last 7 years since I was retired. It sucks to take that uniform off for the last time.

Somehow I was thinking EBB was going to mention something about a penile pump when I was scanning through his posts/replies.

Thankfully he spared us all. Hahaha.

Congrats Geswek on the newly acquired motivation to infuse some form(s) of physical activity into your routines.

Certainly will reap long term benefits beyond even those own individual goals you've set for yourself.

Keep up the great work.

Is that like "Jail exercise"

?

I seriously give ultimate credit to people like geswek who have served our country. THANK YOU!!!!

I just got back and feeling great. Another mile in 14 minutes. I am really proud of myself, I'm making an effort to change things, at least physically.

If you want to make huge differences to your body start looking at Paleo, try the Whole 30 on whole9.com it's made a HUGE improvement in my body and the ability to start wrestling again. Try the Whole 30 diet for 30 days and watch the changes it makes, it's almost miraculous for me.

How bad is diet? I'm cutting back a lot but some diets are just rough. I get lucky though because I work in hospitals so cafe isn't too bad since patients get their food from there too.

All the meat, veggies and fruit you want. You remove all bread, cheese and pasta (wheat is death) from your diet. High fat/HIgh Protein/Low carb. I live on bacon, eggs, fruits, veggies, steaks and meat meat meat

All of my muscle soreness, joint stiffness and other issues are gone. I'm 45 and was feeling like 70 (took about a minute to reach down and pick something off the floor) to feeling 30 again. The kids in the wrestling room commented that wow you can really move now coach. It's a HUGE difference. Not a diet, it's a life change. BTW, remove those expensive supplements, you don't need them!

I'll check it out.

I can't eat red meat, I have allergy now so my protein is by shakes, chicken and tuna.

Good for you, Storm! Staying in shape is the best thing you can do for the best life you can have. I would look into adding in some good pre and pro biotics to help heal you inside longterm; allergies usually start in the gut due to various conditions like IBS, Crohn's, leaky gut syndrome, etc.

I take probiotics and I have none of that. Doctors can't explain why when I eat red meat I get hospitalized. They have ventured to say it may been result of some of s*** I ate in Iraq. I've seen 8 different specialists and got nowhere. So I just don't eat it anymore, I like being at home and not on bed for 3 days.

p90x is a great way to supplement a life style change. I do it daily, and love it. Its hard but it is nothing someone cant accomplish. I got a friend of mine hooked, and he was 63 when he started, and has been going for 2 plus years.
