I will be 30 in less than a month. My goal has been to be in better shape at 30 than I was at 25. I have spent the last 6 months devoted to this goal.
Like most people with fitness goals I’ve suffered setbacks due to temporary lack of discipline or momentary weakness. Of course there were the “Holidays”, several birthdays and events that threw me off course. By far my biggest problem has been my own body’s mischievousness.
Maybe I should call it spitefulness. My body has dealt me a blow after blow. Getting in shape at 30 is nothing like getting in shape in your early 20s. I have suffered through countless injuries and illnesses over the last 6 months. Many people don’t realize that working out can actually compromise your immune system as your body tries to rebuild muscle. Accompany that fact with the presence of a little germ magnate of a son running around and you have a recipe for constant sickness.
Currently I am recovering from a cold I caught at work and horrible lower back pain. I have not been in the gym in four days which is my longest drought in months. I am dragging my ass to cycling and basketball today if I have to load up on meds to do it. Hopefully over exhortation won’t force me to post from the confines of my bed tomorrow.
