Okie....how goes the struggle?

Hey Okie....a while back you had started a post (something like "It starts Monday...") where you outlined your fitness plan, which I understand is a modified version of Bill Phillips' "Body for Life." That was quite some time ago and I was just curious as to how it's going. I recall that you had used his program before with some good results.

I'm doing the Atkins thing right now to lose some quick weight (until I get to a comfortable weight). Then, I may switch over to a BFL type of program for maintenance and toning up.

Thanks for remembering :) Gives me a reason to boast :eek:

DirtWeek 01 was the low point... I cant believe how much poundage I gained this year; was in 32's last spring (2000), 16% (roughly) bodyfat and 190 lbs. By Dirtweek 01, was up to 220... didn't want to measure BF. Was pretty ripped at Dw 01(see image of flared back and small waist here :) : http://www.dirtrider.net/gallery/1_SpodeVision_-_DRN_DirtWeek_2K/DCP01326.jpg Needless to say, I fell off and was NO WHERE near that at DW 01 :( Note: that's Shane from Plano Honda next to me.. out of shape? No way. Rode circles around me :(

In 3 weeks so far; BFL... down to 200, but still high on BF at 21%. I've also got a challenge from Rich to be below his BF by May... he's pretty damn hard core, could lose that one. Big time aerobic right now, weights in 2 weeks thru May.

Atkins is cool for dropping pounds, just keep your lean mass vs bf in perspective. Don't do Atkins more than 6 weeeks (of kitosis) BFL works... go for it.

I'm curious Okie; just read Phillip's book and of course he talks of doing all from the beginning. Your comment indicates just aerobics at this time - personal preference or something you have learned to jump start you?
