Wait...I have a blog?!

Yeah. It's been awhile since I've posted. Other than my twitter handle, there's been little reminder that I actually have a blog.

It would be nice if I could say I haven't been posting because of a faulty internet connection, not enough free time, or just laziness. However, to be honest, the reason I haven't posted lately is because I haven't had much to report.

I got a new job back in June and I honestly haven't been working out near as much as I was before the switch. When I first got the job, I was still running and lifting and biking as much, if not more, than ever.

About two months after I started the new job, I hurt my ankle. It wasn't a debilitating injury but it definitely hurt way too much to run or bike. I could have used one of the various workouts DVDs I have available to me that don't use the ankle at all. But I didn't. I could have kept lifting. But I didn't. I stopped everything while waiting for my ankle to heal.

It healed. I still didn't get back to it. I blamed my new schedule. Two years of getting up at 5:30am changed to working until midnight. It was an adjustment. But I still could have kept working out. I definitely could have started back up when I finally did adjust. But I didn't.

I'm a creature of habit. When I first got into the groove of working out, it became part of my routine. I felt wrong not working out. Now, it's opposite. I've gotten into the groove of not working out.

I haven't gained weight. I've actually continued to lose weight. Probably due to the amount of walking I do at work. I'm now at 211 pounds. The weight loss has slowed down considerably due to not working out as much. I'm also willing to bet that since I haven't been lifting that my body fat to muscle ratio as started to shift to the unfavorable lean.

I'm going to fix it. I'm going to get back into it. Not tomorrow. I know that game. "Tomorrow I'll get started." No I won't. I'm starting today. Right as I get done typing this blog, I'm hoping on the bike. How long will I go? No idea. I just need to get moving again.

I suggest you do the same!
