Get Fit Big Guy

OK, so I’m somewhat sad that I’ve managed to lose my momentum so quickly. Not that I’m doing bad, but I am not doing well either.

Now, on Sunday I celebrated my 34th birthday. Feeling older than I should – one would think – would be a good motivator. However, that has not been the case for me…as a weekend of cheesecake, cookies and ice cream can attest to.

So, while I’m really trying to do this, I am STRUGGLING! So, my co-workers to the rescue! Next week, we are starting bi-weekly weigh-ins for anyone who wants to stay on track. This was a good motivator for me while we were doing it for three months, so I’m hoping it will help me as well.

I’ve got a membership to our local rec center – which I hear is quite nice – and I’ve got to get over there to use it! I’ve got to get some sort of consistent training or activity that I am PAYING for so I have something invested and maybe THAT will make it harder for me to avoid doing it. I’ve got two really great options that I’m looking into at the moment, but I’m still torn, so prayers are welcome!

To Daniel Box: I have let you down already, man! At just 9 days in and I’ve ran like 3 times! I feel awful, but my knees feel worse! I’ve got to either find a bike or something cause the knees are not getting any better, and that’s a real point of frustration.

To the praying folks in here: Please pray that I can really get back on track. I know I’ve only veered off for a week or so now, but I’m really needing to nail down my diet as well as the exercise. My diet is tough since I have blood sugar issues and have to eat the right things throughout the day at the right times. It’s fine if I do a low-carb diet, but I’ve grown more concerned of the health benefits of that, so I’m not sure I want to go that route. If you’ve got any experience with blood sugar issues and diet, I would appreciate any insight.

Thanks to those of you who have asked me how things are going and all that. Even though I don’t WANT to be HASSLED, I need it and it’s the reason I got this site going again. So, keep harassing me! One day, I’ll thank you…even if I glare at you right now
