Today is officially a rest day. It’s raining/snowing/sleeting outside, so I shan’t go to the gym tonight cause safety. I already popped two tires a bent a wheel at the end of 2021, so I’m not risking any further damage to my baby, Blazer.

I did have a productive work out last night, however. I ran a little over half a mile, and then I worked my legs. They’re not sore like when trainer makes me do legs. This one time he worked me so hard that I limped back to my car. I vow to never work that hard on legs again – ha!

Anyway, did you hear that they found a new mummy in the Great Pyramid?? Yeah! It’s covered in chocolate and nuts, which is weird. They’re calling it “Pharaoh Rocher.” 🌝

I’m going to call it a day on this one. Have a fantastic evening, whoever you are.

Hello world! I had a rest day on Monday, which was necessary to put out the crotch fire. There is nothing quite like a burning in your loins.

I put a TON of Gold Bond on my phat thighs yesterday and ran a mile on the treadmill at the gym. I was sweating like a pedophile in a school zone, but I made it! Then I did some arm workouts. I was worried the gym would be packed because of the New Year’s folks trying to commit to their resolutions. Fortunately, that is not the case this year.

My weight is beginning to come down, finally. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow as a follow up to my physical earlier this year. My A1C was high, so he’s monitoring my blood work. However, his nurse did not call to get a followup blood draw, so who knows what we’re gonna talk about. He is gonna comment on my weight since I had vowed last time to get below 200, but that ended up not happening. He’ll probably walk in and be like “fat fat FAT!”

Therapist says I shouldn’t dwell on my body image. He says as long as I’m happy and active, the body will come. I would rather it just be here already. Maybe surgeon could solve that – HAHA! But really, I am striving to be more active and healthy, so I’ll just tell doctor that I’m trying.

I’ve hit that milestone where you work out and put on water weight. I weighed in at an astounding 220.4 lbs this morning. My phone reminded that two years ago I weighed 174, so at least I know it’s possible to get my weight down.

Anywho, I ran a half mile yesterday and had to stop because my crotch fire was burning me alive. Until I’m skinny again, Gold Bond all the way!

Hopefully, I’ll stop looking like a watermelon soon.

Ya’ll, I met a new high this morning. I weighed in at 218.2 lbs, which happens to be my heaviest. Unfortunately, this has caused me to be a bit depressed about my body since I saw an unflattering picture of me on Christmas. Ever just look in the mirror and think “how did this happen?” I know exactly how this happened. I work from home, sleep on my lunch breaks, and after work I relocate to a giant beanbag in the living room to watch tv. Clearly, I am the poster child for a sedentary lifestyle.

So where do I go from here? Obviously, I could continue to live like this, but I am not happy. I have an appointment with trainer this evening, so that’s a start. Also, I’m not making one of those cliche New Year’s resolutions about going to the gym everyday, because that’s setting myself up for failure. I am going to just commit to a permanent lifestyle change. “Cause all that it takes is a little re-in-ven-TION! It’s easy to change if you give it your att-en-TION!”

Sincerely,

Jonathan
