Yo! Ding Dong man, Ding Dong. Ding Dong, Yo!
Shock! The man who writes about bacon every day now finds himself a tad over weight…
I woke up on Monday morning after two nights of drinkin’ and socializin’ and just felt like crud. As I laid there in bed I came to a shocking realization – I haven’t been to the gym over a year! UGH! Over that time, I have slowly watched my midsection begin to creep over the waistline of my pants. It’s bad enough I’m bald(ing), now I got a spongy middle. UGH!! Suddenly all those snide joke’s I would make at home watching “The Biggest Loser” while I ate dinner (and dessert) didn’t seem so funny…
Now, I have found ways to hide my muffin top, like slightly untucking my dress shirts or never completely exhaling when I am standing up, but that’s just not going to cut it anymore. As Dr. Phil might say, “It’s time to get real.” I’m a man pushin’ 40 with a new born baby for flippin’ sake, I got to take care of myself!
So last night it was back at the gym! I managed 45 minutes of cardo before my legs went to jello. Not bad for doing NOTHING over a year. My current goal is to get to the gym three time a week with a minimum of one hours worth of cardo. No lifting, just cardo. If I can find a rhythm, then I’ll look to up it to four then eventually five days while increasing the workout to an hour and a half. I figure with both mine and Better Half’s schedule, that’s about as realistic as I can be right now.
So why am I telling you? Because 1) by putting it out there to the “world” (or at least my 10’s of TDB readers) I am puttin’ the pressure on me to follow through and B) I plan to lose this midsection while I continue to enjoy the foods I love and that includes bacon! It’s called moderation baby and I’m gonna make it work!
I was gonna take “before” and “after” pictures, but figured I’d spare all of us that horror show…
Wish me luck!
