I have posted before about my being more comfortable in life with James, and subsequent weight gain that it has afforded; but enough is enough. James and I went the YMCA in Eastlake last night, to take a tour and see if we wanted to join; and I weighed myself. HOLY SHIT! I weigh more than I have ever weighed, and that is OVER. I am on serious lock-down until things get better. I have developed a workout plan, and I am going to get back to my svelte figure; or die trying. Now, I am not trying to say I am FAT, but I don’t want to get FAT, so I gotta do something NOW. I will try and post updates about how the workout is going, and honestly, use this as a method to hold myself accountable. See, if I have to post about it, then I should be more likely to do it; in theory.
We will be joining the Y tomorrow, and in the meantime, I am going to use the elliptical at our house tonight. Lifting weights was actually fun last night, and the Y in east lake is actually really nice (just in case you live in that area, and want to join). I am excited about getting back into the groove of working out (which for so long was a MAJOR part of my life), which I honestly believe is the key here. I have just been too lazy or bored to stick to it up until this point… but those days are over. I am not looking for a six pack, but if I find one along the way, I wouldn’t send it back. Wish me luck on this new endeavor… and here’s hoping that I can stick the landing.
Current weight: *shudder* 200 (This is the most I have EVER weighed, ever.)
Monday, August 29: 30 minutes on elliptical
Tuesday, August 30: 4 cycles of weights (back and Bi’s) and 300 sit ups.
Planned for Tonight, Wednesday, August 31: 30 minutes elliptical.
As for the picture above of me in the black… that was a bad night, I looked like I was swollen/bee stung or something. I don’t normally look that puffy. I didn’t even look that bad later that night (Mike’s party on the photos page, if you want to see more), but for some reason, I chose this photo so that I can see what needs to be done. I probably just stumbled onto some bad lighting.
But on with the show. I am going to do whatever it takes to get me back to THEN. LET’S DO THIS!!!!!!!
Good luck! Just don’t get too hung up on numbers, okay? You’re pretty damn hot! (And I can say that with no awkward implications being assumed, seeing as how you are the gay.)
You look GREAT no matter what you weigh. If you find too many of those six packs along the way let me know and I will come to GA and drink them while you work out…I wouldn’t want you to lose sight of working for the perfect six pack.
Thanks Amber and Wendy!! I know that I am not FAT right now, but I don’t want to let that happen, as I see that it could, considering that I have gained so much weight. Also, if you think that I look good now, wait till you see what happens when I actually apply myself!
And Amber, it is never awkward to hear that you are hot, gay or otherwise. In fact, I think that you should say that to people more often (but only when it is true!).
Ha… Duane, I can’t believe you corrected my clever use of “teh.”
