It looks like my Christmas holiday will involve a lot of
beaches, stripping(not that kind), pools, frolicking in the sun and generally
not wearing a shirt. That all sounds exciting and all but there is a tiny, or
not so tiny, problem with all that. I’m in terrible physical shape. I have been
swarmed with work the last few months and as a result I have had no time at all
to exercise. I mean literally no time at all. Some days my S-fit app records
less than 1500 steps. Now, I’m not quite fat. At least not yet, but I’m
definitely chubby and overweight. Where there used to be an outline of 6 packs
of abs there is now just one very round, slightly protruding pack.
Not too long ago I was the slimmest motherfucker, eating and
drinking any and everything without adding weight. These days I rarely drink
soda, though I’m still partial to a few beers every now and then. I mostly only
eat one heavy meal per day yet anytime I stop exercising for a sustained period
of time I add serious weight. It’s like the weight comes from the windows to
the walls to the ceiling to my belly. I know age has something to do with it
but then when has something as trivial as age ever stopped anyone from having
the desire to be in great shape?
The plan is to start exercising, mainly running, from Monday
or Tuesday (always best to procrastinate these things, right?) I’m open to, through this
medium or other social media platforms, to exercise and dietary suggestions. You
can even chat me up just to guilt-trip me into exercising. It’s actually in
your best interest that I lose weight before the holidays. We all know what
people do when on holiday, apart from relax, eat and drink,obviously right?
Pctures. that's right, people take lots of pictures when on holiday and quite a good number of
those pictures end up on social media or in their friends’ phones and,
ultimately,eyes. I plan on taking a shit ton of pictures so if you don’t want pictures
of my 1-pack belly assaulting your eyes this Christmas you better be rooting
for me and help me lose all this weight.
If you want regular updates of how or what I do as regards exercise, I will keep you updated through Instagram stories and, maybe, Twitter. Adios.
