Mission 2, Day 40: On fire
I feel like a fire has been lit and it is raging. I am so pumped about my April 1, 2008 reveal. I went to the gym this morning (it is my off week from lifting) and did a 3 mile cardio session. I pushed myself hard, going the final 2 minutes at 10 MPH. That's right...no mercy!
Dedication is required for physique transformation. That's one very big learning I've gotten from Adam Waters and I intend to keep up that dedication for the long haul. It is sometimes very hard to be motivated, but then I think about this blog and needing to post my pictures and everything falls into place. With guys like my friend, Mike Groom, keeping me accountable I can't fail.
I'm tired and off to bed. Tomorrow will see a more detailed post.

Michael, you are just swimming in those jeans. Maybe part of your reveal pics should be a side shot showing how big those pants are on you?
