Follow Along As I Get Back In Shape
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. I can’t believe that I started this site over 4 years ago now. Believe it or not, this site is seen by something like 600 people every single day! I’ve let a huge resource and a massive source of accountability completely go to waste. Oh well… No better time than now to jump back in to it.
I’ve actually become somewhat fanatical about health again recently. So why not get this blog up and running again and let everyone else share my journey.
This post will act as a bit of an intro to what my goals are and my next few posts will dive in deeper as to the exact action steps that I’m taking to achieve my goals.
My current stats:
202 lbs – as of today 7/11/2011 (Free slurpee day but I’ll resist!)
Right Bicep – 14.5″
Left Bicep – 14″
Waistline – 39″
Hips – 40″
Right Thigh – 21″
Left Thigh – 21″
So that’s where I stand right now. I’m going on vacation in New Zealand in October. My goal is to get down to 180 lbs and about a 35″ waistline by October 1st. I figured that publicly announcing this on a blog that gets seen by 600 people a day should be pretty good motivation to make it happen.
My current diet follows the 4 hour body diet from Tim Ferriss’s latest book (future post to come about this diet).
My current workout routine consists of mostly kettlebell workouts and cardio. I’m trying to shrink right now. After my vacation, I’ll put my focus heavily on muscle building.
That’s where I stand right now. Please sure your thoughts, comments, and encouragement in the comments section below.

Fire, Fire, Everywhere…
Today has been a pretty crazy/scary/unreal/murky/bloodcurdling and any other adjective, of a day. Unless you have lived in San Diego or any place in Southern California, you understand how devastating a wildfire, or five can do. This is exactly what has happened in mine and Matt’s hometown of San Diego yesterday, throughout today, and likely further into the week. I am sorry for the lack of posts over the past few days, but this situation at home has certainly spun our world around. If you have not heard of the horrible situation occurring in San Diego, check out this article. All of the news stations here are reporting that the multiple fires burning in our county are making this situation the worst fire devastation we’ve seen. I have watched the television almost all day and have witnessed house after house burn down in a matter of 5 minutes. With over 500 homes destroyed, it is amazing how volatile this situation is and how vulnerable every location in San Diego actually is. My house is located in between two massive fires that have combined to burn more than 300 square miles, and surprisingly, I think I’m in one of the safest locations. So far, where I’m located it looks like it is serving as a small buffer zone between the two fires. As I am sitting here tonight writing this, I am hearing the 60+ mph wind gusts outside my windows and am fearing that those fires can come creeping in overnight; the fires are supposed to burn all the way to the ocean, but we’ll see about that.
I will try and post tomorrow, but depending on the situation in my neck of the woods, we’ll see what the morning will bring. Check out some of these pictures below and actually see what some of these families are coming home to find after they have been evacuated. They really make you cherish what you often take for granted.
Just Starting Out
Hi all!
I want to introduce this blog as a brand new venture that Matt and I will take in the blogging community. In this blog our goal is to spread a vast range of knowledge of personal fitness, everyday life techniques, self-improvement methods, and an overall great, healthy feeling. This is a very large interest of ours and we have always wanted to spread what we learn with all of you.
Currently, Matt and I run the financial/personal wealth blog, How I Will Be Rich. While running this blog we have realized how beneficial it is to get our word out to everyone. By doing this we have learned so much more from our visitors. Receiving responses and advice/suggestions from our readers have not only strengthened our knowledge, but that of everyone else. We can only hope that Be Healthy and Relax will prove to be as influential as our previous endeavor.
Welcome, and please keep your eye out for daily posts about topics that you’ll be able to benefit from daily!
