My name is Kenny and I have 147 days until my destination wedding. I'm 5' 11", 185lbs, pudgey around the mid rift, have no shape in my man boobies and would like to see if I can reshape my body before my destination wedding in the Mayan Riveria, Mexico!
Scary stuff as I don't usually like to show my shirtless body.. lol My stretch goal is a 6 pack, but I'll be happy with a flat tummy and a hint of 6. ;)
So, why am I blogging this? Well, to hold myself accountable, it's fun, and to possibly inspire those looking for some motivation to get their asses in gear.
Some background about me... I am a burst motivation type of guy. Though I'm currently working on consistency, I tend to go 110% until I'm almost at my goal, then stop myself dead in my tracks. I gain weight until I'm no longer happy, and lose it again....thus continues my cycle. Luckily, my bar has been adjusted to not allow myself to be back at the 200's again, but I'd like to continue moving forward towards my fitness goals. I used to be 240lbs and know how to lose weight... I simply have trouble gaining some mass and have felt very demotivated in the process of trying.
One key thing I've learned the hard way is that eating enough is absolutely essential to the mass gaining process. When trying to lose weight, I was very resistant to this thought as I didn't want to gain weight. It didn't really make much sense to me as eating more typically means gaining weight, right? Wrong (apparently)...and I'm finally gonna give it a shot! Just google it and you'll find a ton of articles about it. I've posted one below.

This time around (I'm sure I've said this before, but I mean it this time...lol), I'm looking to go 110%, and go all the way. Basically, pull out all the stops to get the dream body I'm looking for - supplimenting, cooking my own food, packing lunches, a strict workout schedule, etc. Basically, see what I can achieve in 5 months if I really put my mind to it. So, now that you have some background, here's the goods on what I'm planning to do.
This is the workout plan I'm doing - I did a lot of looking around for programs, and decided to go with this one. Simplicity is key.
