Who is that in the mirror?!


I'm getting ready for work this morning and I see myself in the mirror..."OMFG who is that fat bastard?" Well unfortunately that tubby bitch is me. I always prided myself on being in pretty good shape, and I'm not a small guy to begin with (6'3" 2andtoomany Lbs.). But lately I can feel myself getting more and more out of shape. Hey, what am I saying, Round is a shape. Ok maybe not the shape I was looking for but a shape nonetheless.
I however realize that as we get older it can be tougher to get back to the "fighting weight" that we so long to keep, but I did promise myself I was going to get to 250Lbs. by my 40th Bday in August. Oh yea, I'm a HUGE procrastinator. Did I mention this? Anyway back to my promise. 3 years I had a spinal fusion done oh my L5, I won't get into all the details let's just say it HAD to be done. At the time before the surgery I ballooned to 298 Lbs. I was happy with the fact that I didn't hit the Magic 300 mark (this isn't bowling ok), but I promised myself I wasn't going to let my weight get to that point ever again. I did real well for awhile, when I got the clearance from my Doctor I was back in the gym and got my weight down to 260 Lbs. . I felt great, I looked great (oh yea I'm a bit on the vain side also), my clothes fit better and of course I got those looks that all guys love to get. Then work (previous job) started getting stupid crazy and I just totally got off my game plan, ate like crap and totally disregarded my workout.
Now here I am, 1 year later, my weight is back up and I don't look or feel near as good and my clothes have gotten a bit on the snug side. I have become my own worst enemy, as my 3 yr old nephew likes to say "Timmy's Lazy". Yes it is true, I have become a lazy, fat old man AHHHH..., the 3 things I promised myself I wouldn't become. I need to get back to the gym, I need to start eating better again, I can't afford fat clothes and least of all the extra weight is not good for my back.
I will get back to the gym, I will eat better. I promise, right after I finish these Brats :-)
