I know over the past few years I have steadily gained weight. It's not because I have a gland issue, it's not because of a million other excuses, but it's the combination of using the excuse that I'm busy in other aspects of life and becoming more and more sedentary. I was looking at photos taken of me this past Christmas break and holy crap I need to get up and work out.
I think that's what's wrong with people and weight. Too often, we pretend that it's not a problem, and we let ourselves fall into the mindset of saying "I'll workout tomorrow." Well, tomorrow keeps happening, and soon enough you gain like 50+ lbs. Looking at my pictures of just three years ago I can definitely tell that I've let myself go.
So why am I wasting breath writing this as a post? Well, in one way it helps motivate me. I finally dragged myself to the gym today after a plethora of excuses and I guess me posting this is a way to keep myself reminded that I need to keep it up to get results. Unlike the typical person who thinks that they can't change, I've done it before; I have successfully lost a lot of weight by merely pushing myself to the gym everyday and I know I can do it again, but I just need to stay motivated.
Yeah, I know we always come up with these resolutions to lose weight at the beginning of the year and by mid February (if we're lucky to even make it that far) we pretty much have given up on upholding them but to that I say this:
Why does it have to be a resolution? Why not just make it a lifestyle? Hell, I may just fail at continually going to the gym after today, but what counts is I went today.
And that's a start.
