Well I jumped on the weighscale this morn and set a new personal record. I haven’t been this light in 25 years. I’ve been a fat slob for a long, long time. Still am, but now I can just barely see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I’ve begun to see evidence of my weight loss but I’m still not happy. The weight is coming out of my arms and legs, it seems. FFS.
The other day I read that Tiny over at BCE was bitching about some minor aches and pains and I kept quiet because nobody wants to listen to sanctimonious health Nazis … and it’s not a role I want to play. But I know exactly what he’s talking about, and losing a bit of weight has done away with a few of them. I used to hate the stairs because my ankles were starting to hurt. The first few steps out of bed in the morning were excruciating some days. My back was always on fire. After losing the weight, I am up and down the stairs like a whore’s drawers. All the little aches and pains are gone or have largely dissipated like they were never there. Not telling anyone what to do… you do you as they say. Eat what ya want and die like a man…
It also makes me restless. I need to get a serious personal fitness regimen going. I’ll have to think about that in more detail.
good for you friend and good luck !
ReplyDeleteGood job. I recommend Dan John's channel on youtube. He has some nice kettlebell workouts for us old guys.
ReplyDeleteDrink more water and dont eat processed BS fake food.
ReplyDeleteHey Bro! The aches and pains come from being an Airborne Infantryman! Yeah I'm overweight but that's not the issue... The funny part is the knees are more blown out from all the years of jumping out of the backs of the 2.5 Ton DotMil Trucks (Deuce and a Halfs) and then LMTVs... The LMTVs are so high off the ground they come standard w/a ladder to assist!!!
ReplyDeleteMind you jumping out of the back of them sumbitches? 3-4 times a day, with an 80 pound field pack, plus 'extra' shit? Yeah the knees are blown... Yeah I need to drop about another 45 pounds, but still... MINE is cumulative "high mileage" damage if you will.... never mind it's the RIGHT knee that's the BIG problem as "Lefty" got replaced when the Haj blew it off in '06...
Not sure if this'll go thru... internet on the bowt is really sporadic... so much so I can't regularlly poast... hell... I BARELY got this page to open... So yeah, I'm alive and this's been one hell of a trip. TTYL Big Country
Well that’s another reason I kept my mouth shut! Not all chubsters are fat, gluttonous fucks - like me! And - if you wrack up accumulated damage like you did… it vastly complicates weight loss. Unlike you, all my weight gain was just pure complacency and ignorance…
