One of the things that I need to work on is losing weight. I've gained a good deal of weight over the past year and it's starting to affect my health. My back is constantly hurting, and I know that a big part of that is because of my weight gain. My back is not used to carrying all of this extra weight. And, frankly, neither am I. I don't like it and I need to fix this before it gets too out of control. It's time to start working out.
I have some good exercise equipment in my garage and so I am working on getting the garage in order so that I can actually use the equipment in there. I've got some free weights and there's an exercise bike in there. Everything else is really boxing related. I have a heavy bag, a speed bag and a double end bag. I love using all three of them and need to use them. It's great exercise, good cardio. And it's also a good way to release stress.
Most people don't know that I have been a boxing fan for most of my life. I never talked about it growing up because it did not fit into people's perceptions of who I was, so I just kept it to myself. Once I got into my 30s, I decided I wanted to explore it more. I joined a boxing gym and trained there weekly. It was pretty awesome. When I lost my catering job in 2017, I had to stop going because of finances. So, I started doing things at home and using training vids on YouTube to enhance my workouts.
I just let things slide by the wayside for too long and it is time to reverse that. I have all of this equipment that I enjoy, so get that garage cleaned and get my ass out there and shed a few pounds. I can do it. Will you be in my corner?
