insert witty title here

At the risk of getting all Norman Vincent Peale on you, I have to report another inspirational moment in my personal life.

Since attaining maturity (well, physical maturity anyway), my bodyweight has been an unwavering 157 pounds. While somewhat gratifying to know that my metabolism is so steadfast, it has made it challenging as far as gaining weight through a combination of exercise and diet goes.

This winter I set a goal for myself of reaching 180 pounds, but to get there while still maintaining my current bodyfat level of ten percent. And after months of bouncing between 176 and 179, today was the day I made it.

Now I realize that to most folks it really isn't much of an accomplishment, but like my bench press maximum, it's something that I never actually expected to occur.

So don't give up on your goals - no matter what they are - because the only limits you have are the ones you impose upon yourself.
