wax on wax off

So I belong to Merrit Atheletic Club in Baltimore but haven't been in a very long time. Today that changed but my infinite wisdom I went to the gym....in Columbia. This was because my sister set me up with an hour session with one of her best personal trainers. His name was Gary and so you get an accurate picture of this guy, picture Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid) but rock solid and serious as a heart attack but in a nice way.

Gary proceeded to kick my ass for an hour. He took me through a lot of floor exercises, abdominals and then we moved on to machines. I was spent by the time we were done, felt a little light headed, sorta sick but otherwise pretty good.

If nothing todays workout was a wake up call. I want to be around for a while and have felt like sh*t for the last few months. I can attibute my current state to many factors. Traveling limits my ability to keep on a gym regiment and poses all kinds of dietary constraints but for the most part cif i'm gonna be real I have to call it what it is and it's me being a lazy ass.

I'd love to say that from this moment on I'll be in the gym everyday and never touch fast food again but thats not realistic. All I can say is I'm going to make a concerted effort to get healthier. Anyone is free to help. I think one thing would be doing more outside activities. Hiking, football and my favorite sport basketball would all be good places to start. And no i'm not good at basketball, I'm good at organizing football and I nearly died the last time I hiked......maybe i'm a glutton....for punishment.
