8 months until I turn 40, going to get ripped

[.pumpingiron]

just got results from lipid profile I had done as part of physical.
I was 20 pound heavier at my last one

Those 20 pounds made a huge difference
Blood lipids all went from borderline hi/hi to normal range on cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and triglycerides.

Last year they were talking about putting me on medication for these issues, but I wanted to see if I could get the numbers down by losing weight and it worked. I walk about 20+ miles a week also, so I am sure that helped.

Just need to keep it up and not go back to where I was before.

That's awesome! If more people would do this, they'd not only look better, feel better, move better, but we'd have less expensive health insurance too ;-)

I think the walking has made all the difference in the world. I have done other types of cardio in the past and still do ( bicycling, hiking), but walking seems to be something that is easy to find time to do (during lunch break..etc) and be consistent at.

I just need to stay consistent and not go backward
160's here I come

Did you say walking I love walking. This year I set a goal of walking 1000 miles. I soon found out that with my 3-4 mile walks most weekdays + weekend walks that 1000 miles was too low and then moved the goal to 1200. My journal says I've walked 641 so far, so 1200 is "in the bag." All the benefits of traditional cardio with none of the drawbacks (as long as you have time for it).

So, I agree with you: here come the 160's!

Looks like you are doing really great work in here.

I like the idea of setting a mileage goal..that's a good idea..I may do that myself..thanks for the motivation bro!
