.:: An exploration of exercise plans, weight loss and better workouts. ::.

Let’s get things off to a semi-geeky start.  All superheroes start with an origin story.  We learn of how the hero’s parents were killed, or how the hero found a ring with gnarly powers, or even how the hero discovered that after touching hands with his sister, he could turn into a bucket of goo.  This is the moment where the hero *becomes* the hero that we know and love. 

So what exactly is my, ahem, "bucket of goo" moment?  The truth is, I don’t really have one, and I think that those who’re successful working out don’t have those either.  This is going to be one of the running themes of my blog posting; as Dave Draper says, the secret is "there is no secret"; it all comes down to hard work, done day after day, week after week, year after year, decade after decade.  To do anything great, you just have to be in it for the longhaul.

I’m going to talk a lot about working out, a lot about writing, a lot about learning.  And I’ll mention my first misguided attempts at all of those.  But there’s never going to be a "this is it" moment, because all the things that I mention above are things I love doing precisely because there’s never going to be an end, and there’s always going to be a potentially higher PR.
