Okay, so this is my first blog on here and I think it's an important one. I am over weight not obese, there's a difference. I'm at least wanting to be as close to 200 lbs than what I am right now and since I don't have the money to join a gym I found a solution, roller/ice skating. I read up on it and it's a total aerobic workout and why not since I've always liked skating just haven't really done it much since I lived in Michigan when I was married and had access to the lakefront at my ex-wife's uncle's place in the winter. I had a pair of inline skates but never used them and I tried to learn to use them be didn't think they were safe. I've ice skated on and off since I was 12 and roller skated since I was 7 or 8 so I'm used to quad skates so I'm going to buy a pair this week on payday that I found today. I just hope I get to my goal weight in a few months, at least with skating both on ice and land will do the trick I hope it will be enough with diet as well.
My diet is going to make it hard though, more fruit & whole grains and less red meat & junk food is the way I'm going to go. Want to do this for myself and maybe it will give me a better chance to attract the ladies finally. I try to ice skate once a week and once I have the roller skates I'll go to a local roller rink and skate outside weather perminting when I can. So, wish me luck and I'll be updating from time to time, maybe one day I'll take a picture with my shirt off that I can be proud of and post it here?
