Hello!
Been a while since i have been around here, a few months at least, or even a year, back when i was here i was interested in getting into shape - one problem turned out i had an abdominal hernia, well actually 2 abdominal hernia's and one behind my belly button, so 3 total.
As of March 2005 i had the operation to have them repaired, to this day i have had some issue with the right side - it was a very large hole, and it seems i could have another small hole (about 5cm) as i keep getting a bubble of fluid building up, i go into the Doctor tomorrow (Jan 20th) to see if it is a hole, or just more fluid, i have already had it drained 2 times with a massive horse needle! If it just needs draining then after the doctors i am hitting World Gym for a membership here - already been and got all the info i need, well the basics i needed to know.Once i get the word from the Doc tomorrow, it will more or less decide my route and how soon i can start my changes.
[history / goals blah blah blah]
Anyways, i am sick and tired of my aging flabby body (i am 26 now, 27th Oct), over the last 5 years i have gone down hill from being an active person, very active, biking for hours, i mean 6-10 hours a day for the fun of it, to playing basketball 7 days a week for 6+ hours straight, when i lived in the Caribbean running on the beach every night after work, swimming at night for hours, I used to actually get commented on on m "girlish figure" in the sense of having broad shoulders, thin waist and nice legs, to nothing but a desk job behind a computer for most of my days, and then @ home or going out clubbing till 7am drinking like a fish! (liqour here is cheap and i know everyone so the drinks are always strong!)
I see so many people these days, especally fat obesse people and think i would hate to look like that then realize that is the path i am on and i want to change it. I see beautiful women who take care of their body' and think now i want a woman who takes care of her body and for that, i need to start to take care of mine first to improve my self confidence which i do lack considerably when it comes to clothes coming off.
As it stand right now i am:
6'4
215-218lbs (vary through out the day)
I dont consider my self "fat" - but i do have some, well, enough that i want to convert from Fat to muscle.
I always feel tired, i am up @ 6am to work for 7 , work to 3pm infront of a computer - i am the head of a Support department, and so i often get after hours calls for help from employee's, i get home from work and crash on the couch and have no energy for ANYTHING, except watching TV or chill'n behind my laptop viewing forums and drinking redbull , or cocacola, i try going to bed early now but if i am in bed @ 9-10pm - i cant sleep for crap, but if i go to bed @ 12am - 1am, i can get up @ 6am with out second thought, but still feel drained, 1mp in the afternoon hits and i can barely keep my eyes open.
My diet consists of nothing worth eating, alot of fast food for lunch @ work, maybe 3-4 times a week i make my own food, usually BBQ chicken, or steak of pork chops with some canned veggies, green beans are my fav or carrots
I think about the only good thing that goes into my body and something i would die with out is Milk, ever since i was young i drank milk like mad, i hate the taste of water and drink milk all i can! i would say i average about 2-3 litre's a day - i buy it in a case of 24 x 1L cartons here and will sit down with 1L carton like it is a dirnking box! - Maybe that is why i have never broken a bone, 2nd to that is apple juice - i will take a 2L jug like i do my milk and drink the whole thing over a short period of time - i really do hate water, but i think i get enough "water" via the milk and apple juice. But i am sure i need more water.
So what is next for me ? Well i am hoping i can get some help here - i am reading everything, again, like when i first joined to get updated on things, - i got some pics, dont cry when you see them, i almost do. I have reviwed the members gallery to get some idea's of a goal / look i would like to reach for, obviously i wont look like other members, but i have them for reference and to show others how i would like to smilarily look.
Now the punishing part - what i look like as of about 20 mins ago - dont mind the whiteness - yes i live in Costa Rica, but spend most of my time indoors. I did not take any legs pics as my legs actually look fine really - i do need to tone them, they need more size, but it is the upper body flab i am focusing on.
No, i dont like body hair much, i dont wax, i was lucky and hair very fine blond body hair for the most part, i just trim
Flabbyman!!!!!
Tummy isnt big, but it could be ALOT smaller! if i push it out it goes out pretty far!
God dam i got one UGLY back!!!
Okay, camera angle, my arms arent little midget sticks..LOL
Going throught the Members Galleries i came across some profiles whom had nice shape to them and have something i would like to work towards, in terms of shape.
Example one:

I like his arm shape not flexed, subtle but not huge with massive veins popping out - i would like something smiliar. He also appears to have nice shaped chest area and over all a "tall lean" look.

I like his Pecks, i am not sure how much control one can have over their pec's but i would like to work my pecs so that they do get large not only at the bottom but along the top at the collar bone area, so they dont look like saggy tits not flexed.

i like his front view the side shape of his arms, his abs also dont seem to be overkill, but worked good enough they show well with out flexing...
Well, that is alot of blabbering! You still with me ? goood! you do care i knew it!
Well , i guess now it is question time, i do plan to ask ALOT of questions, you can point me to links and info, which i am likely readin now, but i will still ask questions as i like response to more direct questions, incase i did over read something.
Here is where you, yeah you, the person reading this if you havent fallen asleep yet can help me!
So help turn this flabby sexy man into a lean sexier man
