Body issues and health

So, here I am again in a down cycle.

Once again I joined a gym, found a goal, met that goal, found ANOTHER goal, met THAT goal and then let life sideswipe me yet again.

With the Motorcycle Trade show early in the month of February and then just getting back from Texas Furry Fiesta last weekend, I let my eating habits go to shit and I could not get to the gym all month. My weight has spiked back up to 244 from a low of 236 in mid January.

So here we go again, cut out the crap food, eat canned tuna for lunch and get with the program. I am starting P90X and my first workout was last night. In the first workout there is a lot of "pull up/chin up/reverse pull up" stuff. I have never been able to do one pull up in my life. And that was before I blew out both shoulders riding motocross.

I did my best and used a chair to help, hopefully by the end of 90 days I will be able to do some pull ups. The Ab Ripper X workout caused pain in my low back so I will have to modify a bit of what the workout wants or I will just have to figure out a way to do it with lest pain. It's a nasty, nasty workout though. I hope I can get through it by the end with little to no pain.

On top of all that I'm going frikin bald. And not in an easy to look at way either. Got a sprout of hair on top of my forehead then bald spot then more hair. And now it's so thin it looks more like a bad comb over. I don't know what to do about that other than shave the bunch off. Problem being I'm afraid if I do that it will never grow back in again if I'll have buyers remorse on shaving it all off.

Rogane is too expensive, lazer treatments are more so. Shaving might be my best option.

I want to keep my health as long as possible. I am 43 in April, the down side is closer than I think. I don't want to look like a creepy old man. I want to continue to look good, be desirable and take care of myself.

Is that too much to ask?
