For the next few months, I'll be reporting progress made toward reaching my personal fitness goals. I just turned 50, and I see high-level fitness as an extreme challenge. And I love a good challenge. My goal is to be in top shape by February. Currently, I weigh 225 at approximately 16% bodyfat. So, my goal is to get below 10% at around 205. The trick is to lose fat without sacrificing muscle. One has to lose fat slowly while lifting weights to maintain muscle. Losing about 1-2 lbs. a week is ideal.
I will be posting pictures and possibly videos to chronicle my progress. Please comment or ask questions. Just knowing that others may be monitoring my progress helps to motivate me.

Big Picture philosophy represents a worldview that recognizes and appreciates the interconnectedness of things, especially of people and concepts. Our challenge in life is to continually try to improve and become better humans. In regard to fitness, I'm interested in weight training, nutrition, and mindset necessary to build and maintain the highest level of fitness for a lifetime.
