An introduction

Hi there,
My name's Ben, and this is the BensFitness blog. I'm going to use this blog to track my progress as I shed my post-wedding chubbyness.

About 8 months ago, when I first met the girl that's now my wife, I was in fairly decent shape. Nothing spectacular, but at 73kgs I could bench 80kgs and deadlift and full squat 100kgs. Not particularly impressive by any means, but I was pretty happy with it. I still had a bit of chubb, but had decent muscle definition.

Skip forward 8 months to now. The combination of a very hectic couple of months has meant my training has been crap, and for the last two weeks, non-existant. Those last two weeks were spent on honeymoon in Perth, where a lot of crap food was eaten. As a result of all that, I'm now pretty weak and pretty tubby.

I've kept a training journal before, but never a public one. I'm hoping that blogging with both make it easier and motivate me.

So that's it. I'll post my workout routine and some more detailed stats in a little while.

Ben
