Be in killer shape for my upcoming birthday that ends with a five

So it looks like I’m not going to complete this goal on time.
I won’t rehash the reasons why here. I think I’ll just leave it with saying, stuff happens.

As far as the dating very young women and buying a red sports car, well its good work if you can get it.

But what I would like to do is instead of bailing on this goal I’d like to recycle it. You know, a do-over.

So starting tomorrow its game on. I’ll put this goal in the gave up bin and start a new one going for the same three months.

The last few days I have been eating better. I’m pretty sure I saw something green on my plate yesterday at lunch. Course the dish washer could have been broke at the Chinese place where I was eating. No… It was actually a veggie. I’ve also been eating 4 or 5 times a day. Helps a lot with my energy level.

I did go out and buy new running shoes today. The weird thing, I strapped them on and went for a 4 mile walk. And yes thank you very much for asking, they did give me a blister.

Resistance training…umm yeah… Like Yogi said “90% of the game is mental, the other half is physical.”

I’m working on it, I’m working on it! .

I have shoulder envey. Need to hit shoulders hard tonight. Lots of delt and trap work. Ha! ;)

Okay, I’m just going to come out and say this. I’ve done absolutely nothing tword this goal.

I’ve not lifted anything other than food into my cake hole.

I’ve not broke a sweat once other than walking up the three flights of stairs to my apartment.

I’ve not counted a calorie, thought once about protein intake, gave a whoop about staying hydrated.

What I’m saying is, it is what it is.

Do I have a excuse? Well, not really. But I’ll throw this out and see if it floats. My Dad has been in the hospital three times since December and I’ve been dealing with all thats involved with that.

With that in mind I’m pretty sure Dad has been getting more exercise than I have. I mean when your 79 flirting with young nurses is hard work. Hell, when your 44 flirting with young nurses is hard work.

As best as I can tell I have roughly 39 days to put some sort of dent in this one.

Thats my story and I’m sticking with it.

I just did some rough calculations and according to the numbers I’m officially a pile of goo. Well, I’m 33.7% goo!

How the hell does someone 6’2” and weighing 220 have a bodyfat percentage over 33? Thats 74 pounds of goo I’m hauling about.

Sorry my A.D.D. just kicked in, has anyone see the epispode of the old Bob Newhart show where his wife Emily goes out of town on Thanksgiving and the guys order Chinese food?

“More Goo to go!”

What exactly would be considered killer shape for someone turning 45? Being a guy I still think I can do things I did when I was 17. 70 mile bike rides. 2 min 1/2 miles

Or for that matter last year. Three mile trail runs in about 23 mins.

The truth is I’ve spent the last three months slacking. Getting zero exercise.

Is eating a pizza, watching tv and then a nap a workout? Prolly not.

I’ve never really been concerned about my age.

Until I got on the scale this morning and realized I’ve gained about 15 pounds of pure fat over the last three months. Weird how that happens when you stop working out and keeep eating like a pig.

I usually keep my hair buzzed pretty short but I decided to grow it out a bit this winter along with my goatee. One gets cold during the Missouri winters with a 1/8 of a inch of hair.

Sadly,I may have to do away with both the longish hair and the beard for the simple reason that I hate all of the grey in both. Where the hell did this old fart come from that was looking at me in the mirror this morning?!?

Is this how it starts? Whats next? Dating girls half my age and what…? A red sports car!

I’ll be 45 on March 26th and in place of dating women the age of my friends daughters I’ve decided to get into killer shape by the above mentioned birthday. Wait… what if I get into killer shape and then I start getting attention from girls the age of my friends daughters? Then next thing I know I’m buying a red sports car….Ahhhh!!! This is how it starts!!!

Anyway I’ll be back with the ugly numbers and some sort of definition of “killer shape” tomorrow.
