Lose weight. I’m far too heavy and have to relieve this burden I’m
carrying around my middle. We have a family membership at the YMCA
which is only a couple of blocks away. My neighbor has a similar chore
ahead of him for the winter and we’ve decided to team up and go to the
Y a couple of times a week. I’d like to schedule twice a week with him
and once solo — I’d like to work in some swimming. At home I have a
stationary bicycle I can ride for 30 or more minutes. The gym is a
couple of blocks away so I can get in some cardiovascular exercise with
some weight training a few times a week. Also with the swimming pool
there I should be able to do some light swimming for thirty minutes at
a shot. That’s my hope. I feel like with all these good choices
available I shouldn’t get bored as quickly. My neighbor says he wants
to sign up for some karate classes. “Ken-do” or something. But I’m
still too heavy to move in that direction. I need to lose weight before
I can do that kind of thing. Lately I’ve been feeling physically weak,
as well. So I’m hoping the weight training will help with that.

This is all a natural outgrowth of my sedentary lifestyle. I spend all
this time working in front of a computer and not exercising — OF
COURSE I’m going to put on weight! Duh. It ain’t rocket science is it?

I’ll let you know how things progress.
