Day One of working out….seriously. Which doesn’t mean my prior workout sessions were very humorous. But maybe misguided.
After some evaluation it turns out my body isn’t perfect. Wow that was shocking.
So it turns out that playing golf for 50 years. Yes 50, I’m old…okay. Playing golf apparently causes some shortening of muscles on the side of your body that’s closest to your target…I’m right handed, so my left side is screwed up. Well not completely, but my hip flexors, my hamstrings anything on the left side has some extra pain when I do some of the stretching and other torturous things my trainer has me doing. Just joking it really isn’t torture. Remember “No Pain…No Gain” as in gaining in range of motion. Which it turns out will probably help my golf game.
As for the particulars of my workout…for my size and weight and goals I just have to eat better, and less. Because I work in a very crazy environment, eating in a timely manner is not always possible, so I have to bring a cooler and eat the stuff we all know we should eat. Fruits, Veggies, healthy snacks. No crap. Please pass by the donut tray and keep your hands to yourself!
As I have said to my kids. Especially when they move to another state and college, where it is cold and snowy and you don’t know anyone and blah blah blah. “Take it one step at a time.” So even though it pains me a little, I know if I take it slowly. Cause that is the best way. In no time I will be Adonis-like. Well maybe not quite that perfect. But I won’t be “my father’s 58 year old.”
Also I probably won’t be blogging every day. How can I? My muscles will be so sore I won’t be able to type.
Starting weight….248….Starting fat….22%. You will be seeing less of me soon.
