About

My name is Rob.  I am a lazy, out of shape guy.  But hopefully not for long.  This is my blog about my fitness journey from Day 1 to (hopefully) infinity.

As of June, 2009 I am 36 yrs old and I currently live in the Philadelphia area – and I’m not planning on moving!  In the past 5 years I have lived in South Jersey, Cologne (Germany), Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.  Philadelphia is the final stop I swear!   I am a Senior Manager in a global consulting company and currently work in our SAP practice.  Besides work and trying to get in better shape, I am pretty music obsessive, play tennis, drink too much Iced Coffee, root for the Saints, Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, GW Colonials, FC Koln, root against all Boston teams, and hate meetings before 10am.  I grew up in the New Orleans area so am a pretty good drinker as well.

Update, March 2011

So, against my proclamation above, I have moved away from Philadelphia to Hereford, England!  I have been here since June, 2010 and starting working out at Dragon Crossfit in Cardiff, Wales in January, 2011.  It’s amazing how much I have changed since I first started this website.  I still consider myself out of shape, but it’s like night and day.  In the beginning I had to do pullups with the thickest band available, but now I can do about 5 unassisted!  I’m pretty good with all of the movements, even if I still have to scale the weights.  The fact that I can actually do a pretty good snatch and clean and jerk is unbelieveable.

I made another leap this year with going to a Paleo diet.  Now, I wasn’t really that overweight, but was a horrible skinny-fat guy who lived off of coffee, sugar, and hated vegetables.  Going Paleo is a major step, and I’m pleased to say, as of Day 15, I’m still going strong.
