I have to admit it, I’ve joined the crowd of people who committed to working out, stuck to it, then lost it.
Breaking my heel contributed to my lack of working out, yeah, that’s the ticket, I broke my heel so I can’t work out.
So, now I’m determined to get back into the routine and losing some of my flab and gaining back some of the unbelievable good body that I once had. I’m sure you’re thinking I’m joking… Well, I am.
So I’ve been good about getting a good workout in at least twice a week. Thankfully the gym has Precor ellipticals. I can’t stand the machines that has the ski-like arms that swing back and forth at you. It makes me dizzier than I already am.
So now, it’s all about working off all of those scrum-delicious McDonald’s breakfasts that I crave every morning when I leave work. It’s time to work off all of that delectable Mexican food. All of that yummy pasta that my girlfriend makes. I need to work off that “I’m comfortable in my relationship weight”. I don’t want to lose her, I gotta look good.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some fatty, I just need to drain some of that baby fat out of my face and a little bit of the freshman 15 out of my mid section. I’ve done it before I’ll do it again… so there!
You: “Which way to the beach?”
Me: “Over there…” {arm flexed to show the puny muscle I already have developing}
I always rationalize workouts so I can eat all those things. Don't look at it as punishment. Consider exercise as liberating you indulge.
If there is a Bikram (hot) yoga around you, give that a try. It's tougher than football or hockey practice.
