Starting
The best part of this new "fitness kick" I'm on?
I'm rediscovering muscles that I had taken for granted.
I stretch in the morning, before climbing out of bed, and Ohhhh - there's my old friend. My ass does want to cooperate. Ahhh, I forgot about that hamstring. Ohhhh, my abs must be tired of being cursed at, because they're letting me know they're still here too.
All that, and I'm smoking <1 pack a day. LESS THAN 1 pack a day, with all I've got going on. That's a flippin' miracle.
This is all good. I've always loved working out, and I've missed it these past few years. This is one part of my life I feel *I* actually have control over.
I can hardly wait to start seeing a difference. Oh, feeling it is nice, but let's face it folks - the proof is in the puddin', or lack there of as it were.......

Posted by: Contagion at September 5, 2007 08:04 AMAre you CRAZY?!?! Lose weight, work out, quit smoking AND give up caffine?!? What'd I ever do to you?!?
Actually, I had already cut way WAY back on caffine. I only have on average 2 diet cokes A WEEK, less than a pot of coffee a day (down by 3x) and only drink water or decaf tea. I figure that's enough for now.
Baby steps. I'm all about the baby steps.....

Posted by: Richmond at September 5, 2007 12:42 PMI'm eating corn dogs for exercise and watching Richmond work. It's not really working yet, but I'm not one to give up -- I just need to give it time. :)

Posted by: og at September 5, 2007 02:50 PMOkay, if you want 'em. Would you like me to be holding the corn dog in my hand or taking a bite?
