Operation Sexy-Back

Well, friends. I am of course speaking to the lone reader of my forum in this regard, but it should be noted that some life changes long in the making are coming about. After my last post, and with the time on my hands that I find in the weak Moscow economy, I decided that it is time to work on me. Intensely. For a while now, I've been tipping the scales at a largely unregulated 450 lbs, and so noted the recent death of pro wrestler Umaga (Eddie Fatu), who coincidentally weighed in at a far svelter and vastly better conditioned 350 lbs. He died of two massive heart attacks. Undoubtedly, men our size run the very real risk of a short lifespan, and with this knowledge have armed myself with yet another gym membership. This, however, is no regular gym. This facility is available to its' members 24 hours a day. For a man of my lifestyle, this is some much needed give in my schedule.

I decided that there are no more excuses, since anything has to be better than waking up and still being tired from severe apnea, or feeling worm from having to contend with the complications of such physical bulk on a daily basis. I've begun to go in after all of my work shifts around 3 in the morning, and have been iron-clad in my resolve to include much needed cardio in my regimen. After about a week and a half of this, I am feeling better at least. I have only lost a meager 2 pounds thus far, but I have some energy back. I am also sleeping more soundly, and this I like. Further changes include the dropping of my colossal consumption of soda, this has been replaced with lots of water and various teas (home brewed). I was also carrying a bit of a smoking habit (mostly from when I worked), and have officially dropped that as well. I guess that I'm at the point that I'm tired of the excuses that I make for myself, and that others make for me. In any case, I remember that when I graduated from high school, I was a pretty muscular 310 pounds, and I see no reason that I can't be in at least that kind of shape again or even surpass that. Spartans, prepare for glory.
