Day 1 - The Beginning of the End

Here it is. The beginning of the log. Don't try and look for any posts before this, because there isn't any.

I wanted to start recording my workouts and what I eat because I have been pretty sloppy with my workout consistencies. Either I wouldn't go on a regular basis, I would eat improperly and negate any workout I had done, or I just wouldn't be motivated to do anything. After being on a crew team for eight years and excercising 6 out of the 7 days of the week, my body became really soft and I miss the feeling of being in better shape than most people.

My first workout log was in my freshman year of high school and, while total weak sauce in terms of an effective workout log, I liked looking back on it and seeing improvement. In combination with the fact that I am working on another website, I think creating a blog with workout posts is perfect for me right now.

As it stands, I am 6' 2" and weigh 180 lbs. My BMI (which I looked up today) is 23 and my blood pressure from a physical I had two weeks ago is 102/60. I am 23 and have an average build. There it is. That's me.

And to start it off, here is my first workout.
