one thing that changed my world about 3 months ago is this....no matter how my day is going or how busy I am, I ALWAYS get up from my desk once a day, leave the house and walk for at least 30 minutes, or do something active in that time....it changes everything

not to mention I don't eat near as many twinkies as I used to and I try and only eat home cooked meals...that helps a lot

but as far as trainers and driving 45 minutes to work out, sorry, that just doesn't sound fun

Im all seriousness thanks for the concern. Its well warrented as it has taken all year for me to get serious about it.

We started hiking about March and let me tell you that was a wake up call.
The last few months have been quite busy so weve missed out on doing that for various reasons. But it did teach me that I could get to the point where my legs would be willing to take me futher than my cardio system would allow. And that is a funny feelling when the legs are willing but your body says youd better rest if you want to go anywhere.

I started the gym again by accident. The local musclehead place down the street where all the WCW wrestlers used to train for the past 20 years is in a pinch. My younger brother has been a member there since th doors opened was approached for me to help them with a website.

So concern for this business was what got me out of the house and back there. I prepaid a years worth and hooked up the owners son to give me some sessions for some additional cash flow.

The place is serious - 2 toilets - no locker room 3/4s of the building is nothing but big steel plates. The rest is treadmills a couple of tanning beds and cash register.

They are on me pretty good. First thing Ive accomplished is a standard routine. Ill be taking some gym clothes to LA so not to break the routine.

The rest will be the sweating part.
