I'm confident that, over time, I'll be able to pick up the routines and workout plans quickly and be able to take it over for myself.
Slow and steady, though. I'm absolutely looking more into the "lifestyle" changes that some have mentioned already. I'm headed down the right path w/ nutrition (no soda, veggies w/ every meal, fairly clean eating overall), but it's the fitness part for which I need a swift kick in the arse.

Sweet.
I mentioned in another thread that my wife and I (and now my son) are basically groundhogs.
We emerge from our holes to workout when spring hits, then we hibernate again in the winter. Been that way for well over a decade now, lol.
We make it a point to eliminate alcohol, chips and soda. Aside from that we eat however the **** we want. I understand that isn't the BEST thing to do, but so ****ing what.
We're staying in shape. Looking good for our age. Keeping our "beach bodies" ready to go for the next hot summer beach day.
At this point im too old and too busy to give a **** about 6 pack abs or looking perfect in my Calvin's. Eat good, live how you want. Just eliminate the pointless REAL bad shit. Booze, chips, soda.
I just feel like calorie counting and stressing over that shit simply puts too much stress on a person and sets forth some often difficult and unrealistic expectations. Im not saying it's not effective, just that i'm past the point of caring, and i can see gains and FEEL gains w/o it.
