Whats up? As I am growing older, I notice I need a longer and longer belt. Now it seems I am spilling over my belt line. Will this keep me warmer over the Winter? I think not!
Even now as I type this I can look down and see the menacing little clump of failure. Tis not an attractive thing I can say.
Was a time, and not too long ago, that I was pretty fit. I aim to reclaim that position gradually, by eating better and joining a gym nearby. I never liked gyms, just too many people for me.
The last gym that I was a member of, I made sure to get there first thing in the morning. I had the place to myself. So what it was 5 am? I powered through some pretty intense workouts, showered, then went to work. Eventually my job had me starting before the gym opens. To avoid the crowd, I began to stop going even after work, and eventually stopped going altogether.
So what has changed? Did I mention this ugly little clump of fat above my beltline? Losing the muscle, was depressing but growing a gut, is just too much for me to deal with. It took a while to get it… (almost 2 years) It will take a while to burn it off.
For now, I’ll just start watching what I am eating (no junk) and begin getting in some low impact weight training and cardio. Starting from zero I know I’ll overtrain in a heartbeat so I’ll take it easy.
This weekend I’ll join a gym, and begin going after work. I know it wont be easy, but I’ll have to do it. Winning isnt everything but failure sucks!
