Sack of Potatoes

[eumelia]

I just came back from a jog.

Oh, my Gods, Goddess's and Idols! I am such a sack of potatoes!

Dude! WTF?! How did I get this way? I used to be fit, I used to be able to run for long distances without tripping over my out of breath feet.

*sob* I'm so out of shape it's not even funny, I thought because I had a flat tummy and a normal sized waist ling and not so chubby thighs, I was okay. But Moses fucking Jesus, I felt like a fish out of water.

I guess I'm just gonna have to do regular jogs a few times a week for the rest of my life so that I don't end up like both my grandfathers. Yes there's heart disease in every family, but both grandfathers died of heart attacks and heart failure before they were 65 (which is very scary), not to mention that my aunt, after who I am named, died of an asthma attack at 28(!).

So it's time for Mel to get off her lazy, fat(ish) ass and get back her cardio-vascular abilities.

Wish me luck.

Have you considered/tried martial arts lessons?Personally, I can't do daily jogging/sit ups/whatever for a very simple reason- they bore me and so I get lazy about them very quickly.Martial arts give me a good workout that is also interesting, and so I usually don't get lazy about them.

I did martial arts for a couple of years in high school and was in the best shape of my life, but I'm lacking in funds to actually get back to it, I'm hoping to join one of the martial arts courses in university this coming October. But mean while, try and get my cardio-vascular stuff working again.

That's the sucky thing about eating well and exercising. You do have to do both for your entire life or you won't really get the benefits of either. Best of luck.

PS: I quite like your shape. :)

Making our entire lives one big chore... like GD intended it to be. Thanks.
