Jeremy the main two reasons are:
1. I’m tired of being fat, feeling like shit, and having to buy bigger clothing each year.
2. I read Dr Sullivan’s barbell prescription book. Quite honestly I don’t want to be the aging phenotype he talks about.
One of the general fitness attributes he mentions is body composition, and a need to reduce visceral fat which I have plenty of.
This was the big reason for this post. I know you CAN loose fat while building muscle but they are co pletly different things.
I just thought maybe losing the fat first and then going all in on starting strength. Or swinging a kettle bell twice a week in between strength training.
Other than shift work, I have plenty of free time, no kids or other stresses, and have the luxury of eating whatever I need to. (Currently it’s whatever I wanted).
I’d say I do not have an eating disorder. I have a life disorder. I have the time, certainly the equipment (that’s sat unused for 13 years), money.
Done is better than perfect. I love that! I need to be that.
My disorder is learning. I’m a sponge. I crave learning how to do things, and how things work.
When I learned about solar for the off grid cabin, I knew more than people who worked the business for 20 years.
When it’s was time for a new roof, I needed to know more about roofs than any human needs to know.
I’ve walked into stores and in addition to walking out with a product, I’ve had job offers because I know more than the sales staff.
I’ve basically sold a car at a dealership because a potential customer wanted a brochure. It happened to be the car I was looking at.
Some days I can spend up to 16 hours online reading, watching you tube, and visiting forums learning. In fact I’m doing it right now, lol.
