Oh, Yeah, That's What It Feels Like.

I'm about 6 weeks or so into getting serious about the gym again. I love weight training. I think it is so good for the soul it's ridiculous. What other activity has failure as its goal?

So I'm lifting heavy, eating every two to three hours, consuming mass quantities of protein, drowning myself with all the water I'm drinking, and hitting the hated cardio for an hour or so a day.

I feel incredible. I'm seeing results far faster than I did in my gym rat 20's. Everytime I do this I wonder why I ever let myself go. It's odd how insidious slipping out of shape is. An extra dessert, a trip to Whataburger, a missed workout...it isn't until you look back on it all that you realize, "Wow, I was fat and lazy, and I felt like crap all the time."

I always intend to make fitness a lifestyle for me and my family. It feels like I'm really getting there this time. I'm very encouraged.
