Andy: That’s why we’re doing it together. I know exactly how you feel. Yes, you have more to lose than I do. But our struggles are the same in a way. I think being aware of your fat is good. Being obessed with it is not. I do both. Ultimately, it’s your health. Well, looks too, but that’s the bonus. Now I’ll tell you my stories.
I weight a bit over 197 lbs this morning. More than before my trip. That’s to be expected. I thought I was going to put on 10 to 15 lbs. That’s probably not possible. But I did feel fat the whole time I was on the cruise.
Now, I posted on Ongline Podcast that become thin and young by comparison when I was on the cruise ship. But that was comparing myself with people thirty to fourty years older than me. This is what I found during the trip at Ketchikan, Alaska, which I thought was quite apt.

Am I obsessed with my being fat? Yes. Am I fat? Yes. It’s not easy as some think. It’s not always laziness. For me, laziness is a part of it. But not entirely true.
I went to the gym and did a 35-minute session of cardio 5 days out of the 7 days on the cruise. And still gained 3 to 4 lbs. I can only imagine without those exercise. The sad thing is, that’s more exercise than I did for the last two years. Yes, it’s terrible. I’m working on it. It’s a matter of choice. And I chose the easy way out, which is not to think about it. I chose the easy way out, which is not to get up and exercise. I chose my path. I have to re-select my new path. Hopefully a thinner one.
Now that I’m back to my regular routine. Workout seems impossible again. But I’ll try my best. Hopefully to be inspired by the others here, and inspire the others here if I’m good.
Andy. Small steps. Tiny little goals. I think the get into the routine is harder than doing it. If it’s small little exercise, even when we’re busy we think we can handle it. Even starting at five to ten minutes would be better than nothing. I’m trying to work two to three days into my week for some kind of exercise. While watching my diet, sensibly. I’ll talk about food next time. I’m hungry, gotta get a candy…just kidding.
Work that fat whores!
