I've decided it's time to start getting some exercise. I'm having some blood glucose issues, as well as creeping weight gain. What worked for me a couple of years ago (limiting carbohydrates) isn't working as well anymore. I'm going to be using this blog as a kind of support/accountability site, so a lot of the posts here are going to be dedicated to this new project. What does that mean?
I'll be posting daily about my morning blood glucose levels and blood pressure readings. There'll be daily posts about my diet (what I've eaten, what I need to do better on), and my workouts. I'm joining a gym, and I'll be focusing at first on aerobic/cardio exercise. Lots of treadmill work. After a while, I'll start adding strength training. There will be weekly posts about my overall progress, including current weight and waist measurements. I understand things better visually, so I'm seriously thinking about tracking my progress with photos. Well, that's not entirely true: I've already decided I'll be doing that. I'm just not sure I want to include those photos in the blog. I'll admit it, I have some body image issues, and I'm not sure I want half-naked (or even shirtless) photos of me out on the internet. That's an issue I'm struggling with, so I'll see how I feel about it when the time comes. I may decide to push my boundaries, I may not.
I'll still write occasionally about other topics: politics, LGBT rights, book reviews, etc., just as I have in the past. But this will be the ongoing focus for some time. As always, I welcome comments (although they'll still be moderated to weed out spam), and look forward to sharing this new project with you.
