On Struggling With Fitness
Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 8:28PM At one point earlier this year I was on a good track to become fit and a little more healthy. I was running 3 miles a day 3-4 days a week, and I was eating a bit better, but somehow that all slipped away. I ran the Komen run (5k) in St. Louis, which was one of the best things I have ever done, and then I took a break for a week. That week turned into two, two weeks became a month, a month became two, and here we are.
My diet fell to shit when I made my unscheduled trip out to Massachusettes at the end of June/beginning of July. And it still is hard to get back on track. Food wise, well lets face it, I love food. It's hard for me to eat a "Smart Ones" meal or a salad when I can have something else that is much more awesome and 4 times the calories. I'm working on it, but it is such a damned struggle. And I will be at Disney World at the end of the month, and there is no way any kind of diet will swing there for me.
I started riding a stationary bike recently to get my body back in line to get back out and start running again. I do about an hour a day on the preprogrammed setting to "burn calories" and at times it really does burn, so hopefully that is the right stepping stone. I really hope to get back out running soon, which is odd because I used to loathe running. But more on that another time.
As you might be able to tell from stalking me on any of the sites I write on, I am having difficulties once again balancing everything. I really wish I could post more everywhere, but it is hard for me to find a lot of things to write about and sometimes I just get lazy. I'm doing my best to keep up with it all though, stay tuned here, on Deefuzz DOT Com, and on Ish Talkers for more.

Doesn't everyone get winded by a few flights of stairs?
