A Journey Of A Thousand Miles...
...Begins With A Single Step.
It may sound cliché to say, but there is a lot of truth in it. I have been struggling for over a year now to get my fitness regimen back on track in order to gain control over my body. It is a daunting task as I look at it from this side. There is so much to be accomplished, how can I ever do it? With a single "step" of course. If I never take the steps how can I ever achieve the destination?
So with that in mind I have decided to set out on a personal Pilgrimage to Health. You are welcome, and actually encouraged, to travel with me down this road. You can travel as a casual observer, or as an encourager, or as a fellow pilgrim.
The goal of this journey is not to achieve a target weight or attain a particular amount of muscle mass, rather it is a life altering journey to change habits and decision making processes. The goal is to become a healthy person and let the weight loss and muscle gain follow naturally.
I have unofficially begin the journey yesterday, but the real journey begins Monday, April 24. There is nothing significant about that particular day, but it often helps to have a definitive mark of when/where something starts. Monday is a natural "beginning" point, so I will use it as the "first step" of my journey.
I have a very specific program in mind, one which I followed with great success in the past. My failure came only as a result of allowing life to overrun me and dictacte to me how I would conduct my daily activities. While I am not able to change much of my current situation, I can certainly work within it's confines. So beginning Monday I will take my daily lunch break from work and head to the gym.
Over the next few days I will give more details about the program I will follow so that those who wish to join in will be able to do so. And as I travel the road to health I may modify the program to fit my lifestyle and my needs, but I will make sure to describe the changes so that hopefully others will learn how to live a healthy life, rather than always trying to find the next "miracle diet".
As each day progresses I will give specifics about what I ate for the day and what exercises I performed (including numbers of reps, sets, amount of weight, type of workout, etc, etc). All with the goal of teaching you one way of achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Welcome to the journey - I look forward to walking with you along this path. May we all learn together and get healthy together!!
Your fellow pilgrim,
Larry

You go Larry! I'll be along for the ride with you! I've even considered documenting this pilgrimage with my DVX! It might make an interesting inspirational piece.
