I couldn’t believe it. Monday, when I went to the gym, I took a good look in the mirror and my ass is big. Really big. So is my gut. I didn’t even recognize myself. I look like I sit on my ass all day in front of a damn computer talking on the phone, stuffing my face, then going out to drink lots of beer and eat a lot of bad food afterwards. Which is, pretty much what I’ve been doing all this time.

In the three months since I broke a bone in my foot ^[1], I have gone to the gym twice. That’s fucking awful. Now, instead of flirting with the high 170′s, I’m back to 190-ish, and I’ve lost the figure that I was working on. I’m not too happy with myself.

So I’ve decided to redouble my efforts at getting back into shape. I’m running every other day and biking every other day, to allow for healing time and minimize the little nagging injuries I’ve been getting. I’m going back to the old routine of upper body and abs alternating days. I’;m giving myself three months to get back to where I was before this whole downturn started.
