It All Makes Sense Now
I've been sedentary for the most part since almost everything I do involves sitting in front of a computer, so I decided to head to the gym for the first time in years and get in a quick workout. I changed clothes, hopped onto the elliptical, realized after five minutes that I was going to die and switched to the treadmill. Even with that, I could only handle a speed of one mile an hour with no incline. After doing some resistance training, I got on the scale to check my weight since I haven't checked in several months. I knew I gained weight, but not that much weight. All the days of working at a desk, going to school online and just eating whatever is lying around instead of planning my meals have caught up with me. No wonder I feel like dirt. Well, I'm not going into some diatribe about going on a diet and working out seven days a week because I would be lying. I'm just going to get back to whatever it is I used to do that kept me at an average size. The 15 minutes I used to take during the day to go for a stroll, removing the skin before eating fried chicken, leaving out a yolk when making scrambled eggs - all those things actually worked for me, and I got away from it when I stopped working for a few years. Because of how my life is now, I must take action to pay attention to what I'm doing and stop putting my needs last. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but I will promise now to take better care of myself.

If you say so, LW. I’m pulling for you. I picked up 7 pounds over the holidays, so I’m going on an icecream smoothie diet. Pray fur me. I’m so big now even the grandkids won’t come to see me. Now they’re writing asking for money and inquiring abour whether they’re included in my will. I’m working hard right now to get fine and handsome again.
