Not that it's all that surprising that i'm outta shape. I've spent the last few years of my life living on PBR and Doritos, or it's nutritional equivalent. I work at a job that puts me in a nice comfy office chair on wheels for most of the day. Since i moved out of the Fan area i really haven't had to walk anywhere. I no longer have any friends in this town that like playing pick up basketball or anything. Oh well. I got a gym membership through work now, it was pretty much either a pay raise or a gym membership. I can definitely use the time at the gym more than another 12 pack or two of beer a day.
So i've been to the gym 3 times now in my adult life. the first time consisted of me walking in, realizing i had no idea what the fuck i was doing, running on a treadmill for a half hour, then signing up for an hour with a personal trainer that can tell me what the fuck is going on. The second day was spent with said trainer, basically going over how much of a fucking wreck i am and running on a treadmill for a while and then on an elliptical machine (those things are fucking scary to me, they make your body move in a way that's completely alien to anything you know, and jesus, the burn, ha). The third day, today, I ran for half an hour, then went through all the free weight and nautilus machines. My legs don't feel so bad right now, but my upper body feels like fucking jello.
There's nothing more emasculinating than being shown up by a 100 pound female trainer in front of a bunch of meat-necks who spend their existence under a weight machine.
I really just want to get in shape, lose the gut, lose some of my ghetto ass, get as strong as i was when i worked as a stone mason. The last thing i'd want is to look like Johnny beefslab over there on the leg press machine trying to get his body in such a perfectly sculpted shape that he can no longer wipe his own ass. I'm just trying to get a bit more svelt, and hopefully get to the point where i can go to the gym and not lose the ability to scratch my head when i get out.
