Hi!
Well, I've been researching again, and this happened to lead me to this website. I'm not really sure what all to say, other than the fact that once again I'm working on getting myself in better shape. I figured maybe a website and forum like this would help me to be accountable to someone, even if it's just strangers.
I have free weights, a bench, and an exercise bike. I am using oldies-but-goodies like sit-ups, push-ups, and running. I am replacing most of my beverages with water. And I am changing my diet to replace what I eat with healthier and more nutritious options.
Currently, I am a tad shy of 5'11" and weigh 233 lbs., with a 43" waist. I've been all over the place between 160 and 235 over the last 15 years, and frankly I'm sick of this roller coaster. I'm tired of extra large shirts and hoping the cashier doesn't see the size on the pants I'm buying. I'm tired of the lack of confidence that comes with being unhappy with the way I look. I don't even like looking at myself in the mirror. Mostly, I'm just tired of feeling tired.
I want to look good, feel good, be healthy, and feel great about how I look (and the boost to self-confidence that comes with all that). I want to experience NOT being out of breath every time I climb the stairs to my apartment. I want to be able to see photos or video of me without being disgusted and depressed.
