I'm 27 yrs old, and work in IT. As a result, I spend alot of time behind a desk. With the birth of a baby boy this spring, my wife and I didnt get to spend much time outdoors this summer, so my usual habit of cycling 7 days a week was completely missed this summer.
I'm getting fat! And FAST. It's killing me... in more ways than one. My energy level is falling, I'm getting more and more lazy by the day, and let's talk about the odd pains and aches. Crazy.
I decided today that I've had enough of this, and its time to do something drastic about it. |
Dude, I can TOTALLY relate! I also work in IT which pretty much guarantees I'm not going to move too much unless I force myself to do so.
I've been on and off the fitness wagon so many times, I've lost count. The problem is, when I'm at home I just have zero willpower. If there is junk food in the house, I'm ALL OVER IT! However, if I'm traveling on business, I can stick to salads and other healthy fare no problem.
Getting active again will definitely be my biggest challenge. If I could just do that, I'm sure I could stand the occasional junk food meal.
Keep us posted on your progress - I'm sure it will be motivating.
