#6 - I'm gonna get ripped...

Ok, not really, I just want to lose some weight... Sasha and I have been talking about joining a gym all we finally did it... It was actually pretty cool because Sasha's soon-to-be sister in-law had been thinking about it as well and when we called Sasha's brother to ask if he wanted to tour the gym with us, he said that they had planned on doing the same thing today... So, we all met up there and actually got a really good discount since it was a group of 4 of us signing up. The gym is called Gym-x (gymx.com) and there are only 3 of them (Waco, Temple & Killeen) but the facilities are really very nice and the one in Waco is in the old Best Buy building so there's plenty of space.... The really nice thing about it, is that they have a room that's dark, quiet and a really nice place to relax while working out... I'll admit, I'm very self-conscious when it comes to working out in front of people so the dark room is right up my alley... The other nice thing about Gym-x is that every machine has a TV screen mounted to it so you can zone out watching a TV show and your workout just passes by like nothing..

I currently weigh in at around 310lbs.... I'm not really embarrassed to share that, I know I'm a big guy and I know I need to lose some of that weight.. My goal is to get down to about 200-220 lbs which is right about where I should be for my height (6'4")... I will most likely post my progress as the time goes by... Our plan is to go every morning at 4:30 am and work out until between 5:30 and 6:00.. The reason that I'm posting yesterday's picture, today, is that I wanted to get in bed last night so that I would be able to get up at 4:30 am... We got up as planned, went and worked out until 5:30 and then came back home and Sasha got ready for work.. So far, so good, it feels really good to work out and I think sticking to it will be no problem..
