And then Friday…

Not much really new to report from the last time!  I am feeling a lot better about July!  Just call it me being my paranoid self.  I know it will be a good time and I have nothing to worry about it!  Just that you are programmed to believe something for years it is hard to reprogram yourself.  As it is with the physical workouts, I have to do that mentally as well, and I am on the road to recovery in that aspect.

I know a lot of you dont go into the forums much but I do have a thread in there with my daily workouts and such on there… Do you all want me to put them in here too?  I can use all the laurels and criticisms I can get… Would like as much input as I can get.

OK its been a while since I have posted a real blog.  So there is a lot to talk about it.  I will do my best to summarize everything in as few words as possible.

1.) I finally had the talk with my wife about my changing my habits for the better.  She supports me wholeheartedly but she feels bad that she does not have the willpower I have to keep it going.  She said she didn’t really believe me when I said I was going to start working out and eating better because I had said that in the past nad failed. Now she realizes that I am in this for the long haul now and she fully supports me, even asking if I need anything at the health food store while I am at the gym.  NOw if only I can get her to start exercising some with me, or at the very least stop smoking… one step at a time.

2.) I have been thinking about the Circle Bash alot lately.  I look at all the people that are going.  And as much as I am working hard to lose weight and gain strength, I still feel inadequate.  I know as my friends, no one is going to look down on me or say anything negative towards me, but in my mind, I can’t help but think that even though I will probably be one of the heaviest people there, I will also be one of the weakest, even with my great gains.  It shouldn’t bother me, well it does and it doesn’t. I am still going and I am going to have a great time, but it still weighs heavily on my mind. Add to that my thoughts of myself and my looks, its not a pretty picture.

3.) I am very pleased with my workouts so far. My gains have been impressive.  But as most people I want more sooner.  I just wish I had someone to workout with so I can get a little spot and work beyond failure.  One day, I hope.

Thanks for listening.  Hopefully I haven’t put you all to sleep. See you soon.
