Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

Started going to Gym this morning after a long, extended absence of ± 7months.

I think that I might keep track of the way I feel here occasionally. The next step is to phase out the heavy smoking, excessive coffee drinking and lack of proper food intake!

The reason that I’ve started doing my cardio workouts is simple: I am exhausted. All of the time. I don’t sleep because I am not actually tired. Mentally I’m always tired I think. I’m always thinking, plotting, planning, organising and the like. Physically I sit on my bum most of the day at work, drive while sitting on my bum to meetings, sit on my bum in meetings, drive home and sit on my bum while i watch TV at night. Then press repeat.

It’s time that changes. I need to get in to bed and pass out, not let my mind wander and keep the thoughts rolling. I am hoping that exercise puts me back on the mental straight and narrow.

My muscles forgot how to run

How do I know this? Because they are telling me right now, every muscle in a my body is screaming at me asking me to remind them how to run. But I can’t because I have also forgotten how to run.

You see I went to gym tonight for the first time in approximately 10 months (give or take a month). I usually can spend up to 25 minutes on the track, 25 on the bike and 20 on the rowing machine. Tonight, ten or less on each. Shocker. But it’s a start and a positive start.
