Motivational Issues

By macjules, December 4, 2009 11:14

I’ve camped with motivational issues for so many years now. I don’t have any motivational issues with  drinking beer, sitting on my ass all day, avoiding physical exercise, avoiding as much work as possible etc. but I do have a motivational issue when it comes to taking physical exercise. This in itself is rather strange as I used to be (yes, in the famous ‘good ol’ days) quite fanatical about exercise.

By fanatical I mean it,  I used to excerise 3 times per day , every day!

But things went rapidly down hill after I got just 1 injury too many and spent ages in recovery yet still kept on eating as though I was training. Now 10 (plus) years on I’m a larger rounder person. A person who breathes hard after walking stairs and sweats at the mere thought of excersise.

In the mean time my injuries (about 6 serious ones) are now pretty much under control, but they still have a noticeable effect on me when I attempt to get started on training again.

But as a new father with 1 toddler and a second baby on the way it would be good to stop putting myself in the “walking hart attack”  category.

So I’ve bought myself a fancy weight scale from Withings that will show my fat content (yes embarrassing) and I’ve purchased the ” Fat Burning Furnace“. I’m hoping that this time I can motivate myself and slim down.  I’ll keep you all posted on the progress .
