The day has come. Faced with little time, no money, and duties of a dad, I have no time to get to the gym. I was doing pretty good when I had the time when Anderson took a nap to hop on the stationary bike and ride a few miles. Morning naps have been "phased out". So now, I am going to embark on the workout trail. I have decided that my plan of attack will be the P90x workout(thanks Doug).What it is,is ...well I'm not really sure what it is. The infomercials get me hooked every time though. They seem to have good results. I know a few people that have given it a go and seem to be happy so far.
With that being said, today will be my first day. I have already decided a while back to eat healthier and watch portion sizes. It got me back in the ball park of my High school day weight. While this is all honky dorey, I'd like to be in better shape. The mountain takes a toll on me for sure! And if I decide to get on the lake this summer, I don't want to be the fat long haired hippy.
All of this sounds like a big deal. Yeah sure it is, but one of the biggest reasons I have decided to do this stuff is the wifey. If you guys haven't seen here lately, she looks great. she has been working her butt off, and I thought the least I could do is not look like a blubber! Not only that, but I don't want to fill the house full of junk and have temptation to steer her(and now us) away from the hard effort she has put behind the change. I feel better if I eat healthy. My ankle hasn't hurt really bad in a while. My mental thinking(although Cara might disagree) seems to be better. It's an all around good idea to be more healthy.
Do I eat like work out Nazi...no. Do I want muscles on top of muscles like a Johnny Depp character on sponge bob square pants...no. I just want to be able to hold my kid for more than 10 minutes without getting tired. Or be able to rip the mountain this next winter and not be so exhausted by the 3rd run. (ok 2nd)
So wish me luck in my workout "x-periment". I'm sure I'll need it. I hear the yoga part is a gas!
I'm DJ GT and I'm out....1
