Started with 2 count paused bench. Felt really good. Last workout I did this I worked up to 155#s and did 2 top sets. Today I went to 160# and did 4 top sets. Next was DB incline. I planned to skip the warmup and do 3 sets w/ 60# DB's. But first set felt pretty light, so I bumped up and did a set with 70's, then back down to 60's for 12 reps. Good pressing today. Then I did strength accessory work, leg raises and knee out for 2 sets. Solid first workout back in the garage gym.

Nutrition/Weight:

186.0 this morning. Weight is high this morning because I ate a lot of cereal last night right before bed. Still feeling pretty good after a week on vacation.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
