Pre Beast Mode

In order for everyone to really understand where this all came from I will start this site off with.... Where it all came from.

Pre-adulthood is what I will call typical pre-adulthood.  My grade school and high school exercise regimine was your school sports. Most notably soccer and then late in high school I caught the wrestling bug.  Looking back in my life I wish I got over the stereotype of two guys rolling around on the mat looking like... Uhhh... What I was not into but none the less I got over it but a little too late to really develop a great skill set.  Wrestling is one of the early onset function "exercise" that I was introduced. to. I also ran cross country and track later but did that because my wrestling coach thought it was a good idea.
As far as throwing weight around, I was a dabbler in it.  My father bought a weight bench and some free weights from time to time.  I would imagine looking like Arnold or Sly and then I would rip through the weights and then forget we even had them for a couple months.  There was no love loss between me a traditional weight training.
Along can college and post college and about 125 pounds of triple X raw blubber.  I was a fan of the pizza, wing, and beer circuit.  Needless to say my functional moment was laced with buffalo wing sauce and cheap light beer.

Then it all started in 2001... And that will be for another time...

I will try to end every post with some kind or workout or tip of some sort so and I am up in the air as far as the title of this tip so if anyone has any suggestions. Go Scratch or leave me a comment. Until then:

Beat Eater Tip 1:
Beating yourself up over screwing up just reminds you that you screwed up.  Whether it's that you ate an entire half gallon of ice cream or you missed a workout.  It is okay to learn from the past but don't make it determine your future.  Move on and get back on Your Horse Pilgrum,

Beast Out...

To Beast Or Not To Beast

As soon as I get some of the paperwork type things in order blogging is in the future.  Donny is the beast!!!! The number of changes he has seen has been amazing.  He bought in to the whole 9 yards.. Committed to the lifestyle changes not just eating protein bars and moving weight around in the gym.   Tara Koback  & Nancy, I guarantee you both could do it... I am willing to bet on it... Ask Charlotte Hubler Kingsbury how serious I am about it.  My goal in this journey is to change people's habits therefore changing lifestyles.  Health & Fitness is not something that is in store or a meal replacement bar or in a gym that kicks you out if you grunt and rewards you for showing up with free pizza and bagels.  It's what you do when you wake up, play with kids, try to make kids, sit down and eat, go partying, hang out with your family, go to the grocery store.....  I can go on.  The view of diet and exercise needs to change. Nutrition is health, fitness is health, and I believe that all of us want a healthy life without medications to make sure out blood does not clot so that our heart explodes or taking the elevator because we are out of breath after 4 steps... I will RANT... AND Rant.... AND Rant... I am pretty passionate and I think that is obvious.  I want people to be able to do this without me.  Wake up in the morning and what they do is live healthy... Plain and simple.  I better stop... I guess there is the first blog...

Uhg

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Right?

I have been toying with the idea of putting my fitness\nutritional life into writing for all to see for some time. Well, I am not one for resolutions because that's all they simply are is resolutions so let not start this 1\1\2012, lets start it today!!!

What I am hoping will follow is weeks\months\years of what is on my mind when it comes to fitness and nutrition. I do not boast to being an expert at any of this but I have gone through it.

To give you a very short synopsis, I started about 10 years ago weighing around 250 pounds with a 42 inch waist and pretty much looking like your typical run of the mill 9a to 5p working dad.  As of this day I have run numerous road races including half marathons and marathons, Olympic distance triathlons, and some adventure\obstacle course races.

My next post will go into detail on where I was when the light bulb went on and the trip to where I am now.

Until then, Beast it Out!!!

Stay Limitless,
Langer!
