So, I haven't posted in a long time. But, I figure that I have some work to do and this might be a good way to chronicle it.
When I started My Sweaty T-shirt, it was because I loved running and wanted to share that love with people. And then, well, life happened I guess. I got into a career, abandoned it, went to school, worked overnights at a hotel, and started a new career. And all the while, I ignored my own health. As a result, I've gained about 45 pounds in the time that this blog was dormant.
I had (and still have) a goal of running a marathon. But, right now, that isn't possible. My knees can't handle the pounding they would take. I've made attempts at running, and it has been painful. I have to drop weight to even get back into running form.
So, I am starting up the blog again, to chronicle what I've termed "Operation Stop Being Fat". And hopefully, I'll get into running soon enough.
In the meantime, I now own an elliptical. Its actually a hybrid trainer with a recumbent bike included, but I don't like recumbent bikes, so I doubt I'll use it. Its given me a way to get my sweat on again, and its no impact, so I can still walk. Win, win.
I've also got some weights, a bench, and a kettle bell. There is a plan of sorts. I hope to keep to it, and this blog will serve that purpose.
I have work to do, and I can't wait to get started. Thanks for joining me on the trip.
