Time for a change

Over the past few months I have been doing what most people call “slacking” in different areas of fitness. The “slacking” began a few months after I found out that my beautiful wife was pregnant with our son. I told myself that I would simply relax for a bit and set the cruise control button. I used my wife Mari’s pregnancy as a way to eat things that I normally would shy away from, well I should stop lying and say that I used Mari’s pregnancy as a way to eat more of the things that I normally consumed less of i.e. tamales, menudo, fried chicken, and pastries. I would consume these things in small amounts and time them around my training. All of that changed a few months ago. I found it hard to stop eating the “junk” and get back on the “fit” wagon. Well enough is enough and it is time for a change. I must be responsible for what I shovel, and I mean literally shovel into my mouth. My change will consist of more cardiovascular exercise and less weight training, which I absolutely love, this is my punishment for creating the “shovel” effect. I hope to gain a valuable lesson from this experience. I am sure my body will thank me towards the end and most importantly I wont get upset when I look in the mirror at my midsection. Battle, Attack, Defeat!
