Hi Everyone: I fully planned to start this program @ 3 weeks ago, however I wound up with 2 herniated disks in my lower back, one was pressing on my ciatic nerve in my right leg. I am 36 and was literally moved to tears some days. Go figure.
I had a procedure done this past Friday where they injected cortisone into the nerve and will give me the relief I need on the nerve while my chiropractor starts moving things back into place.
I am ABSOLUTELY commiting myself to this program, not only because I need to get in shape, but with a strong core this injury would have been avoided. It is first and foremost an investment in my health, then a slamming body for the beach next summer :)
Just some pre-program measurments to start: I am 6'0, 230 with @ 26% bodyfat. Or you could say I am fat to "quite fat"!!!
I will keep everyone posted and let you know when I start week one.
