Way back in my first post on this blog, I said this was going to be my chronicle of hitting 40 and being willing to try out new stuff even if I fail at them. I think the first thing I can say I failed at was blogging. Since my last post was almost 2 months ago, I'm thinking this maybe wasn't the best idea I've ever had. No regrets on my end for it but I'm also thinking that this chronicle of my life will be just a tad incomplete.
Just to give you an idea of what I have done, here's a little update. When the whole mid-life crisis thing hit, I decided I didn't want to be fat and lazy when I was 40. I lost about 30 pounds so I'm much less fat. However, I am still lazy. Eating the right foods and the right amount of those foods still requires effort but a lot less than before. I do need to spend a week or so giving what I eat the effort it needs to make sure I'm not gaining weight. But, the lazy is my focus.
Fighting my inertia has been a long time coming. There are lots of reasons for that but right now, it's time to put that aside and just get up and do stuff. There's a plan in place, there are motivational techniques employed and there's a boatload of work to be done. I'm going to take it one day at a time and not be down on myself on those days I don't quite make it.
Anyway, I can't really say I'm going to come back here very much. I have a certain level of willpower for things and I'm afraid this is pretty far down on the list. Maybe when being active is more effortless, I'll be back to tell you what I'm up to on a regular basis. Until then, new posts are going to be few and far between. Kinda like now but with the acknowledgement that this just isn't happening in any regular way.
If I figure anything out, you'll be the first to know.
