For probably the 5th or 6th time in my life, I joined a gym again recently. I figured that the older I get, the more I have to be aware of my fitness – especially with heart attacks in my family.
Here’s the thing though, while cardio health feels like the right thing to do – we all want visual results. I’ve lost 5-8 pounds (depending on the day) but can’t really see any difference. The main problem? I still like food. Sure, I’ve cut back on portions but there’s still the snacking. I love peanut M&Ms and other things that aren’t exactly conducive to losing weight.
I guess the main thing to focus on is that I was eating all of these things BEFORE starting back at the gym so that’s a positive.
Some people say things like, “I can eat this cheesesteak because I went to the gym and ran already.” My problem is, I tend to say, “that cheesesteak just ruined by trip to the gym.”
