Seriously?!

A simple question that does not always have a simple answer. Do all of you dislike these kinds of questions as much as I? Well here is one that I know we all at one time or another asked ourselves: "Why is this day so damn frustrating?"

It seems a bit cliche and old but for some reason it always seems to come back on us like yesterdays burrito with extra salsa.

You will often find yourself trying to make all the odd things just stop and they do not. Why? Simple... Life does not work that way and it was ever designed to. It just is.

I have been having one of those days and I know I just have to work through it.

So if you are seeing this and having one of those days, just do what I am going to do right now...

Go to sleep... Good night everyone.

The New New New Me!!

Ok! So here it is 2010, the spring season is in full swing and I recently decided to forcefully pull my head from my ass. Seems like an easy thing to do, does it not? But let me tell you my friends, it sometimes takes a almost seemingly Herculean type effort. But here is what I have done so far:

After weeks and months of arguing with my own body I decided I had better do something about my health and well being. Seeing how I needed to come up with my own damn "Health-Care" plan on my own, I decided to start eating right and getting my ass back into the gym.

This was no easy task I tell you. In addition to that I decided to concentrate more on work and getting my head straight. Once again not as easy as some might think. The hardest part about all this is that I am doing this almost completely on my own. I am not actively seeking help from outside sources. I will succeed in the things I do solely on my own merits and the decisions I make for myself and hope that it does not affect anyone else in the processes.

So I am in the gym and and I have managed to blow the dust off of my old regimen. Realizing, that I could not just jump full bore back into the old routine I managed to modify the regimen enough such that it would be a quick path to the old routine without killing myself.

It seems that in the past when I was doing this, I failed quite often. Why? Well the reason was simple. I allowed big enough distractions to take me off of my game even though those distractions had nothing to do with my wellness program that I instituted for myself.

You see, it was all in my head. Somehow, I convinced myself that because the distractions were too great I could not continue because it would now get in the way of fixing what was now placed in front of me.

This is a hard lesson to learn because this is something that can ultimately ruin me. I find myself in a situation that I cannot afford the price of those distractions taking me out like that. I have a few things going for me now. To list what they are now will be a problem because the list of things is incomplete and will be yet another distraction. You will see soon.

I know that this will be a good thing for me and I will do my best to write it all down as it happens.

On to the good stuff...

So I am in the gym. More determined than ever to lose the chub and get back to some semblance of shape and good health. The impetus for this occurred whilst I was trying on a pair of pants that I thought were my size. LO AND BEHOLD!!! They were not. They were how do you say... "A bit snug.". Holee Fat-rolls Batman! This was the last straw. I found myself in a position that I could no longer justify paying extra for clothing because I am overweight. This is just plain stupid as far as I am concerned and I immediately felt that this situation really did not need to exist.

After I completed my self verbal tongue-lashing, I knew what it was I had to do to remedy the situation. So I began...

Got back into the gym listened as my own body did everything that it could to go against me. The conversation happened a lot like my previous post about my working out. It is one of the first ones I wrote. But this time I found that although there was resistance, it was not as bad as the first time. This time it seemed as if it were a loud din in the room and they just doing some off the cuff complaining about the work but ultimately there was compliance and things are going much smoother now.

I am actually at a point where I can switch my routine to increase the level of fat-burn and wight loss overall. This will require a bit more will-power from me but I believe that in the end it will all work out (no pun intended).

Next time: I think I will attempt to write about what is getting in my way and what I am doing to work around that.

Peace!
