But then there comes that inevitable reminder of all the things we ate that we shouldn't have: Spring. And with spring comes tee-shirt and shorts season, exposing not only our pasty skin but also our winter-withered muscles. No longer can we hide the slight bulge of our belly under two shirts, a sweater, and a puffy down jacket. Nope, it's all there for everyone to see. It's a perfect storm of self-consciousness for anyone who has even the slightest insecurity about their body.
This all ended up with a desperate plea to my trainer that went like this...
Hey Rob!
I really need your help with my workout again... I need to lose some fat big time, and I know a big problem is my eating, but I also haven't been working out. I tried doing cardio for a bit (until school work took away my free time), but I have a problem with one of my feet where it hurts to walk or run. So, I was wondering if I could do other things that would help me burn fat. I also only have about 45 minutes 4-5 days a week to dedicate to working out. Can we meet next week to figure this out?
Thanks!
Jeff
And so my journey begins. The goal? Weigh under 150 (starting from 162 in mid-March) by June 11th which is both Capital Pride weekend and the start of a week at a beach condo with the family. Along the way, I'll share my experiences between working out at the gym, motivation, and nutrition. Plus, anything else incidental along the way. Please join with me in this challenge! It's always easier when a community of people can support each other to reach their goals.
