I've been walking, after midnight...
Mar. 8th, 2003 12:47 amI was out walking again, around my apartment complex. The complex is pretty large, there's 30 buildings and around 400 units. Walking around the complex takes about 30-40 minutes depending on which way I go around the buildings.
Yes, at 11 o'clock, it might be a little late to walk around in a parking lot of an apartment complex, but it's decently lit. Some of the areas between buildings are pretty dark.
Still, it's me, and my iPod walking in the night. Tonight I was in a T-shirt and shorts. It's that warm. It's also fogging up here in town. Still, the modified rice burners and the crotch rocket riders are racing each other down Westheimer Rd. All is right on a friday night.
I'm walking for two reasons, First is the Houston AIDS Walk that occurs on Sunday.
Second it that I'm trying to get into better shape. No, i don't ever think that I'll be thin or anything, but I don't need to be this big. Since I sit all day at work, and have gained a good deal of weight since i started there in 1999, I need to do a better job at taking care of myself.
Yes, I've tried working out and all of that before. It's always off and on. I get interested, then I stop going.
I have lost weight in the last little while, mainly with the help of my doctor in Arlington. Yes, I drive 250 miles to go see my doctor. He's Ed's doctor, and he's good. He's trying to make sure that I don't start having a problem with diabetes. the side affect is that I've lost some weight because of it. I'm guessing, since I need some new belts now, that I've lost at least 30 pounds since last August. I weighed more than ever back then. Some 360 pounds - that's big. It's hard to tell how much I've lost because most scales won't go past 300.
I'll get to find out for sure in June when I go back to Dallas for a check up.
So why else do I want to lose weight? It's not so much a looks issue. Yes, I'm concerned about my looks, I don't think I'm all that attractive, but I'm seeing that other people do seem to find me good-looking. I'm not that concerned, though. I don't feel bad, or terrible for being fat.
I want to be a bit stronger, I want to be less flabby, I want to not get winded climbing stairs. and I want to be able to fit comfortably in a rollercosster car again.
I also like that the clothes are cheaper. It would be nice to fit into a 2X shirt again. Still, I think the gut will still be there.
I'll never be a musclebear, though I do like them, but I don't think I'll ever be in that category. That's alright. I can still be a better me.
