As I put on my t-shirt this morning, I felt it fitting snugly. \u00a0My wife watched me put on the t-shirt and she began laughing. \u00a0She said I looked like a ten year old girl about to blossom into puberty. \u00a0She blamed me for making her laugh because she said she saw the look on my face as I looked in the mirror.\u00a0 I’ll give her a pass on this one.\u00a0 But it doesn’t explain all her other laughing as I get dressed other days.<\/p>\n
No matter how many times I promise myself to start exercising, I never follow through.\u00a0 How and where can I find the secret to motivate myself?\u00a0 I think I could make a million dollars if I discovered that secret.<\/p>\n
I think about what I used to be and what I have become.\u00a0 I used to do 225 pull ups and 500 push ups every day.\u00a0 I trained in Jiu Jitsu for three years (four days a week).\u00a0 I was in shape.\u00a0 I was cool.\u00a0 I was athletic and could count on myself to handle anything.<\/p>\n
Now, if I do three pull ups, I’m sore for a week.\u00a0 Luckily, I can still do pull ups and that puts me ahead of many of the fat and sloppys out there, but knowing what I was and what I am now, it is hard to accept the transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
