About 13 months ago, I joined Traineo and had some great success. See the “Past Goals” at the bottom…

After starting a new job, and going through some stressful stuff in my life, I lost steam and stopped going to the gym for about month, minus a little running and the occasional round of push-ups and sit-ups. After a couple attempts I finally got back on track and was doing well, even in the wake of the birth of my first child.

But then I went back to work, got a little sick, and got out of my routine. I knew I would be leaving home for a couple of months for training, so I decided to let the gym go to maximize the time I had left with my wife and son.

Now I'm away, and will try to squeeze working out into my tight training schedule. Wish me luck!

Phase 2.5 (ACCOMPLISHED!): Get back into a routine and accomplish 3 - 4 work outs a week in July. (Maintain from 17 July 08 - 15 Aug 08)

Phase 2.8 (ACCOMPLISHED!): Get back to the level of strength I had at the peak of phase 2 and add leg work outs to the mix, I’ve been neglecting my legs. (Target date 15 Sept 08)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
