Once in
awhile we would look at ourselves in the mirror (especially during or after
taking a shower), is this me? How the heck did I come to this? Reminiscing the
past would almost as always enthralls us to take a deep thinking on the why’s
and the how’s. Probably the easiest solution that would come up is the prospect
that we are getting older by the day. Metabolism might be one of the factors
that affect this. Or so they say.
I am almost
the age of 4 decade and have a wife and a beautiful daughter, yet, the norm
would usually be come as it may. Whatever I am now physically is the product of
being married and old age. That’s a big excuse! The fact that being here for
damn too long on this third planet from the sun, we should always keep in mind
that disease lurks in our midst. Have you ever observed that? To name a few:
The aching joints, long recovery every after a strenuous activity, shortness of
breath, high blood sugar and most of all, being hypertensive. While it’s never
be too late to encourage once self to be weight conscious, diet alone cannot
solve this. It’s only 5% of the equation. Exercise, exercise and exercise is
the other 95%. It might not be easy but, I was almost 200 lbs, now, after 4
years of blood and sweat, I am proud to be 168 lbs. All I did was research,
observed and study. Research, get the facts, your goals and most important,
which exercise regimen suits for you. Observed, get to interview and see for
yourself actual results of people whom you see fit and healthy. Asked their way
of living, how they eat, what’s their way of doing things during exercise.
Study, how this data’s would fit in you. Everyone is different, what might work
for the other guy doesn’t really work on you. Learn to listen to your body and
prepare to make this as a lifestyle.
Remember,
all this thing comes up with your ultimate goal. To set something and challenge
yourself is a very hard thing to do when you are not really into it. Be focus
and just do it.
