Get in shape

The shape of a balding, 30 lbs overweight male in his mid thirties. Uggh.

Right now I feel like turning myself inside out and exploding. Just ate 14 cloves of garlic in order to stave off the virus that is knocking on my door. I seek physical comfort but have no way of acheiving it.

Matt Cooke of the Vancouver Canucks has been working out hard to stave off injury. I get to the gym far too infrequantly. Perhaps . . . ah crap, this sucks! I know I don’t have time to be sick, I’ve worked like 90 some hours over the last week, my beloved keeper of my heart has this illness so every home moment I try to help out (with varying degrees of success). No wonder I’m falling ill.

I actually fantasize about going on “Survivor” just for the forced diet alterations. I can imagine me saying “No thanks Jeff, I’ll eat the rice.” upon winning a food reward.

Why can’t I just exercise more and eat a little better? What is the barrier?

Needless to say I didn’t acheive my goal of losing 30 lbs by the end of June. I got one tenth of the way there. Yipee :(

Maybe a good prolonged sickness will be a good thing. . . The problem is there is no room in my life for it. Getting sick is a very bad option.

Sorry to anyone reading this far, I know I’m rambling badly. I’ll stop now.

I am “out of shape” in many ways.
-I am stiff and not nearly as fexable as I’d like to be.
-My feet, especially my left foot, ache thoughout the day and swell up by the end of the day.
-I am about 30 to 40 pounds heavier than I should be.
-I have hair falling out were it shouldn’t and growing were it is not socially (my back) cool.
-I feel tired too often, due to lack of sleep and poor diet.

Publically stating these facts hopefully will serve as more motivation in addressing this goal.

Having said that, I’m: eating and sleeping better, working out here and there, and getting my Orthodecs (shoe inserts) tommorow.

Future plans: more working out, a stretch yoga class (help make new friends?), and some research into laser hair treatments.

Have eaten lots of bad things and only exercised twice since last Friday. Not going great, kinda bummed about the 1 pound weight gain.

I should know better, I went a little hard on the weights and probably gained 2 pounds of muscle and lost a pound of fat or something. This is why scales are bad.

Anyway back at it tommorow, aiming for 6 workouts, lots of veggies and the usual 3 litres of water per day this week.

Had by birthday over the weekend and indulged a little. Before weekend I had lost 6 pounds from my starting point. Today I went to the gym (don’t own a scale) and I am now 1 pound over my starting weight (insert expletative). So now I have to loose 32 pounds by end of June. Thanks for the cheer Trinah I can use it.

My goal is loose 31 pounds by the end of June. I have a bet with my beloved wife. Instead of going to the gym I’m sitting at this computer typing about it, crap.
