70# has got to be rough. Even 20 is depressing to me. In my mid 20s, I had a roommate--friend since 5th grade--who wanted me to get him in shape. We were living in St. Paul Minnesota at the time--New Year's Resolution time. Before we ever lined something up after about a week of him watching me go out for 2-3 mile runs in below freezing weather he was like "Yeah, forget it. I'm just going to stay fat."
Right now I'm dragging my heels because it is past lunchtime but I don't actually feel hungry. So I'm kind of thinking "do I just run with that or should I eat anyway so I don't gorge later? Or should I go out for a hike to burn some calories first?" I think I mentioned it, but I did my first run in about 9 years...Friday? And I can tell my legs aren't ready for another run just yet. For now I'm looking at pushups and crunches and maybe some USMC calisthenics. Google does not support me, but I swear we did something called the Daily 5, which was 5 calisthenics picked each morning by whoever led the unit in the exercises. It served both to get the blood going at the start of the day and to give training and leadership experience to the newer NCOs.
Anyway, the thing is, I *have* to get some shit done today. And at the rate I'm going, if I go for a hike or spend too much time working out, I'll wind up having wasted the whole weekend. Although that may solve my diet dilemma, because I'll be running out of groceries before Tuesday.
