"Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness." ---- Edward Stanley
I got a text message this morning from Zoe's dad:
"I am proud of you for getting into shape because Zoe really needs you around. Keep up the good work."
It's not optional anymore. I'm doing this just as much for her as I am for me. She's been more aware of eating right and exercising. And I want it to be a way of life for both of us.
So far, after 5 weeks, I have gained 6 lbs of muscle. I have lost a combined total inches of 4.75. About 1.5 inches on my waist and 1.5 inches on my hips. The rest were arms, legs, and neck. I did gain an inch on my thighs. But it's better than them getting fatter.
It's not much, but it's a start. And feeling better is worth all of it.
Tomorrow we meet Zoe's teacher. Then on to kindergarten.
I want to be around for all of it. And I plan on fighting tooth and nail to do so.
How could I not?
