I’ve been trying to get into shape for the last couple of months… and to my shame, I’ve had little progress. My roommate Brett and I tried to start a diet in March or April that lasted maybe eleven days, and since then I’ve must have started and failed four more times. I bought a gym membership and went faithfully for two weeks, and still intend to go, but have failed to go on schedule for the last two weeks. My body just wasn’t ready for the type of schedule I was putting it through and I needed a break, which has stretched into two weeks.
One thing I noticed is that it’s very hard to get a strong body when you have weak willpower. I’m going to continue trying and keep my goals realistic: going at least four times a weak to the gym for upper/lower body training, doing core training at home (as well as at the gym), and doing at least thirty minutes of cardio everyday. Those things, in combination with cutting out fast food and what not should help me get into a semblance of good shape.
Oh, I’m also going to buy a bike here shortly (when I get the cash) and ride instead of driving. Most everywhere I go is within five miles of my house and that’s really only about a twenty-five minute ride to most locations, instead of a ten minute drive.
Yeah… well… I’ll keep you posted about my success or failure. Hopefully success. Going to play disc golf now.
