I've been on a fitness journey for what seems like forever. Many years of working out. Eating unhealthy. Fighting against myself. Against life. Against stress. Making excuses. I'm not morbidly overweight, but I want to look in the mirror and feel good about what I see. Most days I'm frustrated by what I see.
In 2009 I lost just about 50 pounds. Felt amazing. Worked so hard. Put it ALL back on within a year. (Damn you Angry Whoppers) Last year I found the reddit.com/r/fitness and saw so many success stories. I knew I could do it. I started working hard. I lost about 30 pounds between February and June. Put it all back on my Halloween. Just can't stay consistant with eating and drinking and working out.
This year I'm back at it. Working hard. Lots of cardio. Nine workouts per week. Five cardio and 4 weight training. I'm focused. I'm energized. I'm determined to succeed.
My wife and I are taking a vacation later this year and will be spending a lot of time on the beach. I want to feel confident out there. I want to look good. I will. #GetBetter ... that's my mindset. Just get better, because I'm not dead yet.
