Working Out

Near the beginning of January, I bought myself a weight bench. I've been tinkering with the idea of getting into shape for a while now, but things I tried haven't really panned out. I was walking for a bit, but it takes a lot of time and I wasn't really seeing much results for all the time I was investing. Plus, due to the climate I live in, it's not really practical year-round.
Amazingly, I have created a workout program for myself and not only followed it, but in most cases exceeded what I set forth to accomplish. Based on past history, this is quite amazing. I often will try things and they will fall apart within a weeks time. At this point, I've been working out every other day since Jan 17th missing only a few days here and there for important events. Last week I had worked up to a full hour of weight lifting and tonight I got this up to an hour and fifteen minutes. I really didn't expect to notice anything for at least a couple of months, but I can already tell that I am in the best shape I have been since high school. Yea, I still have quite a bit of fat around the belly, but underneath there is some decent muscle at this point. I'm expecting much of this fat to slowly turn into muscle within the coming months. I hope to have some good follow up reports on this. Right now though, I am going to bed cause I am pretty destroyed at this point.
