I realized yesterday that I’m on the verge of being a fat man. I’m about 30 big ones over my weight in high school. Although 185 in high school might seem like a lot, I did play every sport and was the starting running back and point guard of my teams. So it was mostly muscle mass at that point. What’s depressing is that I got to this point quicker than I thought I would. I got married, came home after work instead of going to the gym which was my custom prior to the vows. I used to be a gym junkie, playing basketball for up to 4 hours at a time and occasionally pulling in two a days as well. I guess I can look and see that all my work out buddies have moved away to different parts of the country and world. Or I could point the possibility that I just got really lazy. Playing video games has also been a major crutch as well. The thing that really made me realize is that I was looking at some pictures I just took and my face is like a bowling bowl. I looked bloated.
So what’s the point and why would I care to tell you that yours truly is one slip away from being the funny fat guy friend? Well, I’ve decided to stop the madness and get back to my fighting weight. I’m going to chronicle the weight loss over the next couple months and put up pictures to keep myself accountable. I might even jump on the P90X craze if I can get a copy. Thanks for listening.
