After 6 months of watching...

...I finally turned to posting!
A boy that will soon turn 30 and a new dad, I always was active and in the last years I became an office employee. Translator, I'm sitting in front of a computer all day long. Biking to work, I was doing well during summer, but after a while I discovered that my winter week-end activities were definitely not enough. I had to find something more and I hate gyms... this is when I found about SG.
Wow! I got myself a 10 pounder, started slow but went steady and I didn't gain a single pound during winter, I actually lost a couple pounds when I started and remained at a comfortable 185 lbs for 5'11" since that time. Having a damaged right shoulder (atrophied deltoid due to ripped nerves in a bicycle accident many years ago) I was afraid it would be pretty rough but in fact, I think that it’s helping it!
I'm thinking about going heavier soon, but I don't want to over do it and I still have a decent challenge with my 10 lbs. I'm doing series of 30 (go figure why... I liked the number) and I don't have a regular list of moves. I particularly like shovelling coal (hand over and hand under, throw forward and over the shoulder), chop wood, drive fence post, the fireman, one hand hoist the sack, flip the lever and canoeing.
With summer coming in, I'm getting back on my bike (2 to 3 times a week, 20 km each way to and from work) and I'll keep on shugging. I'd love to go down somewhere between 175 and 180 pounds (that would look awesome around the swimming pool he he he) but my main objective is just to remain active and well.
