Today even though I was tired, I did go to the gym. I did aerobic exercises. All that really means is I worked up a sweat and had bouts of heavy breathing. I know other ways to do this but being over weight has kept those options at zero. I don’t even want to think about jogging when just walking from a parking lot into a store takes my breath away. And not in a good way. So being tired I slacked at my work out. That’s when I realized the truism of the saying, “You only get out what you put in” But that has been my way of life for some time. What I have been putting in my mouth has been getting out all over my hips and rear. And ankles and calves and, well all over.
Tomorrow will be different. I will work out harder than I have ever worked out in quite a while. That is because I have an appointment with a trainer tomorrow. My first of 12 training sessions during the contest period. She said we would do a full body workout. I don’t know what this will entail but I suspect I will do everything she says with a smile on my face and a grumble under my breath. You see, I am paying her to show me how to make my body do something it hasn’t done in years, use muscles for something other than a place for fat deposits. And I intend to be a fast learner. I want, no let me correct that wording, I desire to have long lean muscles that will allow me to keep up with my grandson when he rides his bike around the neighborhood. I desire the flexibility to sit on the floor with my granddaughter while she plays with her dolls. I will do what the trainer asks because I will achieve my goals of a healthy weight and life style.
