Training a Trainwreck

So….Before my return to St. Louis, I weighed in a lot.  I didn’t really do anything about it but it kept my head in the game.  I was then prepared to make healthier eating choices and I would go on walks and even attempt jogging once in a while.  I even had a goal.  I knew that 180 pounds was a good weight for my height and at the time I was hovering around 200+.  All is good.  It wasn’t even the weight that bothered me.  It was just me being out of shape and I knew that a change in weight would reflect that I was at least doing something about it.  That has all fallen to the wayside.  I feel part of the reason I have been feeling a bit down in the dumps lately could be linked to my physical activity levels.  Even my job has gone from me running all over a store to standing at a booth.  This is NOT awesome.

So today I started off with weighing in.  Since I don’t have a scale in my house this proved problematic.  I use my Wii Fit board instead.  First have to find it, then have to find working batteries, where’s the controller?, then have to update the Wii, then have to find more batteries because the ones I grabbed were FUBAR.  Done.

Apparently, it has been about 4 to 600 days since my last check in.  The gap is because the number was so great, my life over the past two years flashed before my eyes and I immediately blocked it.  BAD WII!  Then I was surprised.  I lost weight.  WHAT?!

Now lets say the real reason I pulled out my plastic board and waited for Mii humiliation.  I have been noticing my gut getting bigger.  Why hello spare tire!  And I want it gone.  I needed to know where I stood and apparently it is a loss of muscle mass.  LAME!  Well.  Looks like I have a goal to think about and set.

    It makes me a bit sad to realize that I’m in your weight class, and I’m like a foot shorter than you. Well, none the less, go Joe!!!
