260 Pounds?!

Well, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise.  I weighed myself at the gym today- and the counter-weights settled uncomfortably at a troubling two-hundred sixty.

I’ve only hit that kind of weight once- no, hang on… nope, this is probably the heaviest I’ve factored in.  No point blaming anything other than my sedentary lifestyle, my carb-heavy food cravings and a metabolism slower than a 3-toed sloth.

But just like any real trooper, I power through the workout session- my first foray into strenuous aerobic activity since August, I think.  I was relatively lighter then- about 25 pounds less.  Now my legs feel like jelly, and my belly feels like someone’s used it for a punching bag.

That’s good ol’ muscular fatigue for you.  And we renew the effort to fight of the extra weight one pound at a time.

Wish me luck :)  Cheers!

The Big Step Forward

It seems that life, for me, began at 33. I’ve never had this kind of clarity ever before. I’ve decided to take a major step forward in my life, and yeah, it’s just awesome.

It would really be great to do nothing but sit around at home all day, playing games and watching DVDs- but after 2 months of that- it got incredibly boring!

Which made me think, really. What did I really want to do? I definitely want to make cash, but none of the responsibilities (at least as little as I could possibly have). So that’s goal #1: Finding a fairly laid-back, but just as financially and mentally rewarding day job. Why laid-back? Because I also wanted to do other things OUTSIDE work: I’d like to hit the gym, I’d like to learn me some new skills, like SEO, internet marketing, etc, I’d like to have my own businesses. And more importantly, I’d like to spend time with the important things in life- my family and friends.

Yes, it can be done. And all this- this blog- is all about my new life. I love it that I have been in radio for the past 12 years, that I’ve run a floor with as much as 120 agents at any given time, and that I’ve been directly involved in making business better for the last radio station I worked for.

This is a time for making new friends and allies. A time for discovery and a time for learning. This blog, ambitious as it may be, is for everyone who has taken a brave big step forward- scary, yes, but terribly fulfilling in the end.

Good luck to us all! Cheers!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my humble blog! This web journal is entirely dedicated to keeping track of the efforts I do to live life a little healthier and a lot more stress-free. I’m not getting any younger, and seriously, I feel the excesses of my decadent life slowly catching up with me.

Join me as I try to fight back the extra poundage, hop from one spa to another, make a low-carb (but very tasty!) meal, and pretty much whatever else is needed to rebuild my body into a better, stronger, faster me.
