About Me
I am married and have three daughters. Between work and family, I try to find time to exercise. I suppose that from my family's perspective, I find too much time ;). My favorite form of exercise is weightlifting. It burns calories and builds muscle. I have lifted weights for many years but it wasn't until a little over a year ago that I found a website called StrongLifts.com that I was inspired to lift weights progressively. In other words, progressively add weights when you train so that you keep the body from fully adapting and thereby you keep building muscle mass. It took me a while to learn that this type of exercise is not the same as bodybuilding. You get bigger muscles but not that big. You get strong muscles. You get an increased metabolism. I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and it makes day to day chores a lot easier. I don't do much cardio. I do like biking but probably more from a perspective of getting out rather than as a form of exercise. I also like working on home projects at a pace that does provide some cardio benefits. Nice to get stuff done and see your effort. As far as nutrition goes, my diet varies depending upon current objectives. I keep protein to a minimum of 0.8g/lb of bodyweight but I vary fat and carb. I do take fish oil supplements as well as probiotics.

Resting Heart Rate
Got my resting heart rate to below 50. Did it with good diet and lifting weights but little or no specific cardio exercise. Going to add cardio mostly to help lose fat but that should help me get to my goal of 45bpm.

Losing Weight
OK. Started at 202.2lb on 9/28. Losing weight every day since. If I am doing it right, it should be mostly fat. I know that I will likely start seeing daily fluctuations that cause the next day's number to go up but I should be able to maintain a downward trend.

Weight Gain
Going the wrong way with my weight. Some of it is muscle gain but a lot of it is fat. I don't plan on quantifying how much of each using fat calipers. I can tell a lot of it is fat from how much I can pinch. At least I am still lifting. Haven't broken any personal records recently but I finally got over a cold and some general muscle aches so we will see how this week goes.
