My goal is to get rid of my added pounds but more importantly, focus on overall health. I believe the my added pounds from the past two years are a reflection of my slide into an unhealthy lifestyle.4 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
yes, yes, yes ...
Topic of the day - goals and values.
Goals - I want to be kind of a fit guy for my age. Incorporate values... functionally I want to be able to take care of Buddy. He is always going to be a little boy. He is getting heavier and I am getting older. That is a reality. He 70 pounds now. That ain't much to a body builder but I can hurt myself if I ain't careful. Get the little guy on the toilet or in the tub. That is lifting and extending. Gotta be careful.
Goals - I want a climb average of 1,000 per day for a month. I done it before. I think I can still do it. I don't gotta be as fast as some of the guys I hang with. I just be me. I get some good respect for just doing that much.
I got me a new fitness watch today. Heh, 200 bucks. My trepidation on spending on sports equipment. What if my knees call it quits right after I spend money. That'd be weird.
I walked to the store to buy it. Yesterday's climb got my knees to talking. But it seems like its been like that forever. Take an advil and a tylenol.
But walking is good. It is a different motion on them joints. I feel better after having walked.
Goals - I gotta drink less alcohol. When I have gone for hard exercise I always feel like I want to drink a beer and a shot. That is dysfunctional somehow. I been doing that for a long time.
... and I ain't getting rid of that 9 pounds I been trying to shake.

To answer the “am I worth it?” question... Damn right I am! Regardless of my kids, my husband, or anyone else that depends on me, living a healthier life is all about me feeling better physically & emotionally. The people around me reap those benefits, but it is all for me. There is no guarantee that they will be part of my every day life forever, but I am stuck with myself in whatever shape I am in.
@LisaPower123 Excellent. As an audio program says, “My body is my ally; my friend for life.” Without our bodies, we have no life.2 -
