Well, this is the first day of the blog. I guess I'll start with why I am doing this (the blog) and trying to lose weight (in no particular order)
1. I would like to live to be older than 60.
2. I would like to be more attractive for the ladies.
3. My body is a temple to God, and right now, my temple has a few broken windows, shingles falling off and a rat problem.
4. To be a better example to my students. (I teach elementary P.E. for those that don't know.)
5. I figure that if I put it on here and my friends/family see it, they will be more likely to ask me about it, ergo, making me actually have to be better at making it happen.
So this is the plan...
I am going to walk around my neighborhood (2 laps) 3 days a week, and attempt yoga (yeah, this is going to be interesting) 2 days a week. I think I am also going to work in a basic work out regiment (push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) I am well aware that my eating habits need to change, and that will happen, just not right now. Baby steps people! I tend to eat better naturally when I am exercising as well, so one will help the other.
Well, today I walked for my 25 minutes or so. The dog is sick and I just had to pay a bunch of money for her, so I needed it as a stress relief. When I go walking/jogging my mind just flys through situations, it's crazy. I feel like Rainman, just not with numbers, with social interactions, life issues, etc. It's really odd. I play out conversations and situations in my head. They can be brand new conversations/interactions that I have had and I play them back with changes that I wish I would have made, or they can be new conversations/interactions that I have not had and I imagine how they go. It's a great way to make the time go by faster.
Just a heads up to everyone who reads this, my writing is horrible. Also, those of you that know me will understand why I use parenthesis so much. When I speak I use a lot of side comments mid sentence, thats what the () are for. I guess thats is it for now. I'll be back soon with a report on yoga. Hopefully it will last longer than 5 minutes this time.

Thanks for sharing! I will for sure bother you about it - that's a sister's job.
ReplyDelete...and if you don't keep up the good work, I'll punch you in the baby maker!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Coach Walls! I'll be reading!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Gordo. My sister uses her blog to motivate her with weightloss and I've thought about using mine for that too. I usually just vent . . . Good luck!! Yoga is great - you'll get the hang of it and there are lots of lovely ladies in yoga classes! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, man. I read you don't care to start the dining aspect of it yet, but you really should try the Subway thing. Katie and I were cramming there the other day before a movie, and a guy came in that said he lost 25 pounds in 30 days, eating only that (accompanied with exercise, naturally), so it is worth a try. I'll be checkin' in on you as well.
