Sheesh working out and losing …wait … oops I mean “weight” and getting fit USED TO come with at least a month of semi-hard work watching what I ate and a little exercise. That was like 5 years ago. Being over 30 and trying to get back to being fit and tone has been a struggle for the past month and 1/2. Yeah, yeah, yeah … I know weight isn’t the most important part and you’re right its not cause it definitely ain’t shedding as fast as I would like … I gotta take into consideration … muscles and inches and I’m am … but it doesn’t make it any easier when measuring my success is done by what I see on a scale. Yada yada blah blah blah … (i’m already hearing the voices in my head tell me throw the scale out the window)… I know the scale doesn’t matter, but it does matter to me …  BUT…

 Its different this time … its not just a cardio based work out (dropping the majority of excess water weight) … but changing my eating habits … lifting weights… trying new outdoor activities and the one hardest to change is trying to drink alcohol less often (yeah thats a hard one … even if its just to avoid the usual beer or 2 with dinner).  I’m aiming for a healthier lifestyle change not just a diet.  Oh boy did I really say that … I’m not getting any younger and the metabolism is functioning slower, gravity is slowly but surely taking its hold … but you know what …I’m gonna resist as long as possible. I’m gonna ride the ”I look young therefore I will feel young” train.  I don’t know how long it will last but MighTy J is motivating me to vibe the vibe were aiming for … sexy, cool, different … therefore hopefully these baby steps will get me to my goal of feeling, living, being healthier….

I’m not trying to be a size 3 or enter any skinny pageants or be someone I’m not, but I want to live up to my own expectations and my own potential. Later in life I still want to be able to run with and surf with my kids when it due time. I’m not making any announcements just stating my future endeavors …yet I hope they (the little ones) come soon (but not too soon) cause i don’t know how motivated i’ll be to stay fit.  LOL … kidding but not.  So I’m still chugging along (no pun intended when it comes to drinks) … taking it day by day … if anyone else wants to join in on Tiki’s Fit Club …hollah in the shoutbox … or talk to the MighTy J PA Rai … i’m sure the exercise nazi will be able to assist …
