My journey from fat to fit! |
I’ve been trying to lose fat and get fit for a long time. This will be my blog about my fitness journey! |
You only have your body in life, nothing else. You can lose all of your material possessions, but you only have one body. You need to care for it and eat healthy and exercise. Eating right and exercising are not optional, they’re mandatory if you want to live a long life. When I was in my early 30s, I played volleyball and was the best player of the guys I knew. The reason I was the best was because I pretended that I would get killed if I lost the game. Dieting should be the same way. If you pretend you’ll die if you go off your diet, you’ll take it more seriously. If you were traveling from Long Beach, California to Sacramento, there is a point of no return when it is too disadvantageous to turn back and retrieve something you left behind. The point of this metaphor is that once you’ve lost a certain amount of weight, it doesn’t make sense to double back on your diet and eat junk food again. Getting away from fast food and junk food and beginning an exercise regimen are like having a premonition that a plane I’m going to get on will crash, and choosing not to board. I don’t judge people who choose to partake of fast food and junk food, I feel sorry for them, just as I would those who didn’t get off that plane when I did. Some people will die from obesity, and I hope to not be one of them. |
Sunday, 11/3/24 I weighed 299 pounds Friday and 297.2 yesterday. I weighed 298.4 this morning, but I ate ice cream last night, so I’m starting to make progress despite gaining for one day. I’m trying to work out every day in November. I trained back and biceps yesterday, and chest today. I was going to try Rich Piana’s bigger by the day workout, but that didn’t happen. I was busy with a writing project and wasn’t focused on training. I hope to slowly expand my workouts over the month. I trained shoulders this morning and went for a walk for 15 minutes. |
