Yes, I am finally going to admit that I’m not 20 any more. I am older, my bones creak on occasion, and my endurance is not what it once was. Such is the fact of being 39+.
Now mind you, I’m in good health. According to my last physical exam my cholesterol count is virtually at the bottom of the scale, my heart rate and blood pressure are still in ideal ranges, and I do not suffer from any affliction. Considering that I smoke, work under a lot of stress, don’t eat vegetables, and have not worked out since I was 23, I’m pretty pleased actually.
But, as I mentioned I’m not exactly I peak condition. So I am going to try to change that. I have decided to include the blogosphere in my effort as well. Perhaps others will take inspiration from my efforts.
As you can see I have included a photo of myself sans shirt. Now I may not be a bodybuilder, but I think I look pretty decent for my age. But the goal is to get rid of the love handles that have slowly grown, and try to get a six pack set of abs. Even a 4 pack would be good.
To that end I have joined a gym, and plan to get there to work out at least once a week if not more. At the end of every month I will take another photo. You will be able to see my progress and can comment on it as you wish.
Now here are my goals.
- 1. Tone up
- 2. 6-pack abs
- 3. increase endurance
- 4. increase strength
- 5. lose the weight in the middle
Not a huge list, and probably not that hard. To give you a relative idea of where I am starting at, I’m 5’10” and according to the gym scale I weigh 169 pounds. That is the most I’ve weighed since I left the military.
Well, now you know. Let’s see what happens.
