first fitness-related blog in a long, long time, and not for good reasons. i can feel myself falling off the health and fitness wagon for the first time in forever.

i can’t blame fatherhood for that, and i am far from sleep deprived. if anything i have been overworked between regular work, per diem moonlighting at other nursing homes, and my private practice. i’ve also had time-intensive house projects that have taken up some afternoons, but i know despite that i can get good, hard workouts in and eat healthy like i have been the past several years. i typically get more accomplished in 15 minutes than most people get in 90 at a gym. i just haven’t wanted to.

last week i worked out twice. the week before, once. the week before that, once. my diet has been total horse shit, snacking on whatever is laying around. skipping meals in order to do this. my alcohol intake has increased as well. i guess i can blame football sunday for that.

nothing is irreversible, and the scale has not moved, which is a good thing. i was 164.6 the other day. but i pride myself on being a healthy, active person who is able to do whatever it takes to be in the best shape i can, and this is not congruent with that.
