Getting active again
Posted: January 12, 2014 in Misc
Every year I end the summer in decent shape, and then the holidays come and I eat too much, move too little, and in the springtime I have 10-15 lbs to lose and I've lost most of my cardio. I get on the bike and I feel like a slug. It sucks, but it's the same every year. You think I'd learn.
This time around I have another plan. A few months ago I picked up a home gym machine on Craigslist for a song, and got it set up in the basement. I've been at it between 3 and 5 times a week, so hopefully I'll be able to at least neutralize the weight gain between now and spring, or at least maintain some sort of physical conditioning.
It's a decent machine, and I can do 95% of what I used to do at the gym, so I have no excuse. I can even get Pandora playing on the TV in the next room for some music.
The hard part will be getting the junk food out of my diet, which I've resolved to do, but I really like to eat, and I REALLY like anything that's chocolate, so I have my work cut out for me. Maybe if I could translate a chocolate cookie into a number of reps I'd me more successful. Or maybe I'd just never leave the basement. :P
