Before covid hit I was in really good shape. I watched what I ate and worked out 5 days a week.
My contract ended with an employer and I went to another company (I work in the engineering side of oil & gas) knowing they were working a lot of OT. I was looking forward to the extra money and thought a little break from the gym couldn't hurt. Not even a week later we got sent home to work and I was putting in even more OT from home, 80+ hours a week.
I was asked all the time how I found time to workout, with a full time job and two small children and I would always tell them "I make time". Working that much I literally didn't have time for anything else but work and a few hours at most with my kids. All that lasted for about a year.
In that year I really let myself go. I've gained 50lbs, I snore super loud (says my wife). I'm always tired. I run out of fucking breath when I lean over to tie my shoes. I'm absolutely disgusted with myself! There's no one else else blame but myself. I've tried getting back into the routine of going to the gym, but I find myself lacking enthusiasm and self discipline to go.
If you're reading this and you're experiencing the same thing, then hopefully I can help motivate you!
This is my vow to get off my ass and put in the work. Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today!
I'm ready to start getting my body and mind healthy!
