Run, fat boy, run!
I took the time today, after rushingly purchasing presents for my sister’s eighteenth birthday to do something I don’t normally do something. Clothes shopping.
In my perfect little imaginary world, nothing would affect me - let alone weight.
I’m not exactly the prime example for the human race. Sure, I’d say that I’m a little overweight - but never fat. Definitely not, since I can squeeze into a pair of 36 inch jeans.
However, a geek’s lifestyle - full of sitting around desks all day and never getting exercise hasn’t exactly helped the situation as I found myself straying for a larger pair of jeans than I would normally ever dare for.
The strange thing about this whole situation is that I’m pretty self conscious. I always wonder how people are percieving me and that’s a reason that I appear shy or anti-social to people I don’t really know well.
I hate making false promises to anyone, let alone myself, so let’s not make it a false promise. I’m going to start about.com’s 30 days to a 30 minute running habit and measure my progress with you. Each week, without fail, I’ll tell you of my ups and downs so I’ve got incentive to keep going other than my appearance.
Let’s take back my body, shall we?
Update
I seem to have buggered my knee. So, any exercise in the next few days will be swimming only. Darn. Now, where are those swim shorts?
