Now On Blogger: Striving to stay young

First post! New year, new goals, new blog.

At The Gym is now on Blogger along with Faith Hinchman's blog Balancing Act.

I plan on making this blog more of a personal endeavor. Which means I'll move away from the article type post and make it more about my adventures in the exercise world of San Antonio.

So pretend you don't know anything about me and I will fill you in a bit here. I'm hispanic, about to 30 in February and I've been trying to turn back the clock over the last three years by working out. Stop. The truth is I didn't care about aging until the last month, when other thirty somethings filled my mind with this process of falling apart when I hit this notorious number.

I used to think I was young. After all, I work out, I run, I ate decently and I do what I can to stay away from any forms of "posions". I don't drink alcohol or soda, smoke, or drink poison. So I like to think I'll live a long time, but staying young is a different story.

"It's like your body knows." After hearing that, I've noticed my body starting to slow. Maybe it's the weather or the fact that I've been eating too many snacks. But I need to focus and stay on route to completing my goals.

So here's my personal list for this year.

1) Weigh 170 lbs (180 lbs stretch goal)
2) Bench 170 lbs
3) Be able to do a Muscle Up
4) Be able to do a backflip comfortably without mats

What are your goals for this year?
