Last year I was 235 in the summer. I'm now 265. I'm backsliding bad. I was on the fence before, but I've decided now: I will eventually participate in Muay Thai matches. I will go out and fight. The training has been intense. My toes are torn up, there are tons of welts on my shins, and my left thigh keeps getting pounded so I gimp up the stairs in the house. But I've exceeded my limits and found I can keep going, so I shall. I need the motivation. Let's make it real. I have to lose weight now or else I'll get punched in the face *more.*
My life is extremes now. Push it all out in working out and nothing but relaxing and video games at home. Blow away hours with Final Fantasy 12, No More Heroes, Red Dead Redemption, or the Metroid Prime Trilogy--that lethargy is justified with all I do.
I was raised on video games. Now is the time to download tons of that music. FF music, OC Remixes, etc. Make epic workout playlists from the music of my video game life. Let it consume me. Motivate me. I want to be as epic as the One-Winged Angel. I want to be as feared as The Hunter. To have the skills to be the sexy Sorceress's Knight. To have the Courage the go through anything like the Hero of Time. To do it with the grace of Dracula's pretty-boy son. To be undeniably badass during the fight but still incredibly DORKY everywhere else like The UAA's #1 Ranked Assasin.
The music pumps me up. I don't wanna just watch and dream of being larger than life like the avatars I manipulate. I want my heart and soul to have that same level of resilience and they can help me do it.
I can do it. Despite the pain, despite the exhaustion. I can do it.
