Getting Started

Hey everyone,

I will be updating my normal blog on a weekly basis with my weight loss progress among other things, but I wanted somewhere that I could post things more specific that I am doing.  I started this journey back in April, when I saw some pictures of myself that I did not like.  I was pushing 250 pounds and did not feel good about myself or healthy.  I started watching my portion sizes and limiting my carb intake (for the record, I'm only limiting bad carbs, not carbs from fruits and vegetables).  I also started working out with my brother, Jon Scott, at the gym at our church where he works.  I am currently working out 5 days a week and I have lost almost 30 pounds.  This blog will be the place where I keep track of my daily workouts.  Feel free to steal workouts, but make sure you are working with someone who can teach you the correct way to do things.  Eventually, I will have my backlog of workouts listed on this blog, but it may take some time. For now, I will be adding workouts in the evening after I've completed them.
