First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now, onto business...
So, between the excitement of the new year and the end of my Winter Break from college I havn't had the time to write any new posts lately. I know there is probably no one reading this as of yet but just in case...I'm sorry. I am finalizing my school schedule (if you knew me, you would sliently chuckle seeing as I constantly change my class schedule) so I am finding quite a bit of time that I didn't have before! I know, your beyond excited. Anyways, that is not to say that I haven't been working out and keeping track of myself...in fact I have been keeping better track of myself than ever! I will be posting my workout logs and "Before" pictures soon to officially kick-start my progress blog.
See you again soon, populous of the internets.

Fist post, first blog
Here I am, it's the day after Christmas 2010 and starting a blog. I have been told it is customary to write a first profiling post, giving some insight to my readers (whoever you may be) of who I am and what the purpose of this blog will be.
So, to start off I suppose that I am a frustrated man. Barely a man I suppose, seeing as I am only 20 years old but - at least by determination of age - a man. I went through high school unhappy with myself, more specifically overweight. There was a point and time that I weighed 250 pounds, and at 5'11'' that was not who I wanted to be. Sadly, it wasn't until I struggled through depression my freshman year of college that I realized the vicious cycle I was stuck in. I was unhappy with my body (with me) and to cover up that pain I would eat, and thus the cycle spun.
Almost two years later, now 160lbs, I am much happier with my weight but still not quite satisfied with my body. I took the unhealthy route for my weight loss and that meant losing a lot of muscle mass with all of that weight. I am left with a body that is bulky around the middle, with tiny arms and no ass (excuse my language). This blog is the story of my progress towards becoming a Greek God, so to speak. It is my quest to build muscle and learn to love me, again.
