Diet, Exercise, and the Whole Ball of Gouda
Well! Y'all have decided me rather nicely.
For all practical intents and purposes, I burned out on my healthy lifestyle in June of 2009. I'm pretty happy that I kept it going as long as I did - but by June I was just dead in the water. Getting up in the morning to go to the gym was getting exhausting, holding myself to decent food choices was taking too much time, and the liquor cabinet seemed to be refilling itself on close to a weekly basis.
I came in this morning with lunch pre-packed and my old M&F magazines ready to review, and what do I see but that several friends are having the same kinds of thoughts running through their heads about their own physical frame of reference. This is awesome in my opinion. The zeitgeist is good, the stars are right.
I should mention that this is not, for me, a question of social acceptance. The people of the fat acceptance community have found what works for them and I'm glad for them, but I was personally a whole lot happier when I was living a lifestyle that involved physical exertion and dietary restrictions.
This is an open invitation: If you would like to follow along with diet and exercise information and experiences, comment here and you'll be put on a specific filter. I'll be posting to it daily, even if it's just a listing of foods and exercises.
