I should start by talking about the least favorite parts of my body. My obvious first choice would be my belly, believe me when I say that rubbing my belly does not grant good luck. My chest and belly have quite a bit of fat on them and I would like to avoid having to wear a bra in this lifetime. My belly isn't the largest in the world, but it really is a downer on my self-esteem. My next trouble body part is my butt and thighs. I have very large thighs, that really irritate me when walking or standing alot. My butt is starting to get pretty big from the fat as well as sitting in a chair all day. I still remember to this day the first time my elementary school bus driver stood up, I promised myself that my butt would never ever be that big. Well I am certainly on the way and this thing needs to go away!
The rest of my body is actually not that bad, my arms aren't very fat. I have very slender calves. My face is a little chubby, but I'm not sure if I want that to change. My face is my favorite feature and it has earned me the nickname of Baby Face.
I have a few "health" issues that I think may be resolved as a result of weight loss. One of my issues is that I get very tired throughout the day, since I've started working out I have had tons of energy that lasts through the day. If this keeps up I will be able to keep away from the energy drinks, which alone will net me a savings of about $30 per week. Another issue is sweat, I sweat profusely when barely doing anything. This can be very embarrassing when I am at work and my armpits are soaked. I have tried all kinds of different antiperspirant products to no avail.
I also get out of breath very easily. This can be attributed to being out of shape and also being a half pack a day smoker. The smoking is something I will work on in time. I also get a sore neck very easily, when I was in shape years ago this wasn't an issue. I will be looking for exercises to help strengthen my neck.
If I think of anything else, I will post it later.
Today I was very sore from the last two days of workouts. My abs and arms were in the most pain. As a result, I did a smaller workout today. I didn't want to skip the day all together since I still wanted to ramp up my metabolism. I was in a very good mood today and I decided to listen to The Lonely Island for some good laughs. My workout today was:
- 5 minutes of stretching
- 20 Jumping Jacks
- 20 Squats
- 10 Push Ups
- 20 Crunches
- 10x2 Lunges
I would also like to set a short-term excercise goal of being able to do normal push ups. Any push up exercises I do are with my knees down. Once I achieve this goal I will set another more aggressive goal.
