30 Doesn't SCARE or Bother ME!!

This has struck me as odd, and I have noticed it in myself also which annoys and disturbs me. I have been playing catch up and checking out friends blogs and I noticed on more than one the focus on getting back into shape before we turn 30. It is odd to me, but I understand it. I have never been the model of health or the physically fit. It is true that I spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in the gym everyday. I run 3 to 6 miles everyday, walk another 2 at increasing speed and 15% grade, ride the bike for 22 minutes and then hit the weights. This all being said and done, I still am not impressed or satisfied with me. My problem is that my love of food is too great. I love to cook and to eat. This being said, my goal is to break my eating habits and make my desire to eat submit to my goal of being in better shape. That is where I have to start. My dear friend Blair turns 30 in January and he is starting 3 months before, so I guess I will start now and give myself 6 months to get the job done. I am going to need all the time because as all of you know, I am a stubborn and hard headed person. I don't look like I did at ACU. I have lost 30 or so pounds and dropped to a size 36 waist since my days in Abilene. That is all well and good, but I have plenty to go and lose. I am still adding strength to my frame also. I was talking to Kenny Henry the other day and he wanted to know what my max bench was. That I can't answer. All I do these days is a ton of reps. I know I can do 225 lbs, 2o times on the bench press. That is all I try to do because my lifting program has shifted dynamics. No longer size and mass, now it is about strength and tone. Enough for now, headed out to run.
