This is Gerard Butler in "300", his abs make men suck in their guts and women forget their names. I fall into the later category. I have also fallen spellbound by what Butler and the other cast members of "300" went through to look that breathtaking.
I haven't started dead lifting tractor tires, but I am an information junky, so the more I learn about it the more I want to know. One thing is clear: It is not a realistic workout for anyone starting out or without supervision. Here is a video that hits the high points: (Ladies, note the sexy Scottish accent)
So why am I inspired? Because effort pays off. Because you CAN radically change your body. Because hard work will be met with the results you desire. Because I can aspire to having a body worthy of a man with a body like that. (No need to drag me back into reality, I know Mr. Butler is not in my sphere. Nor do you need to remind me that a man does not validate my accomplishments, I'm clear on that too.)
So now I am working out again. I am also keeping in motion when I am not on a treadmill. I stand at the computer, I walk from office to office rather than sending e-mail and my nephew and I are always on the go. Combined with my healthy food habits, (remember this is not a diet) I am back on track in a major way.
This next week I will meet my latest short term goal - I will be at or below my lowest weight in 10 years. I am going to reward myself by finally going to see the movie that has launched a thousand workout regimes. (oh, wait, wrong sword and sandals epic) Check it out here: "300".
As for how the weight loss is going, I have lost 4 pounds since I last posted my weight. Yes, I am happy and yes, it is work, but I am inspired.
Best always, Ms_H
Weight - 188
