Ive just gotten onto this MyFitnessPal thing. Id already vowed to keep track of my efforts to get healthier and then a stop into /r/loseit pointed me toward this handy site. Looks like a good resource. Im not sure how much use Ill make of its blog functionality, but I did opt to christen it with an entry entitled Shelter in Audacity. Ill share it here on the hypothesis that the more public this effort is the more likely it is to succeed. I hate to be one of those people who starts up a fitness regimen on the first of the year. Its so cliche, so common, so typically doomed to failure. I could have waited a month or three, or gotten started a month or two earlier and avoided the judgmental stigma, the knowing nod of those who dismiss me as a member of the fair-weather fit, a New Years resolutionist. I could have taken steps to avoid that, but Ive decided to use it instead. When I was younger the surest way my father could ensure that I stayed squarely on my fat ass was to suggest that I get some exercise. I didnt want to give him the satisfaction, not even if Id wanted to do it for myself. Ive grown wiser since, more confident in myself, but that refusal to give my detractors the satisfaction is an impulse which runs deep and endures, and Im going to use it. I will shelter my ambitions in their very audacity. Ill proudly state that I started turning my health around on New Years Day of 2015. Ill count on peoples judgment, their assumptions, their expectation of my failure, and I will let that spur me onward. Make no mistake; I am doing this for myself and nobody else and that is the motivation which drives me forward, but in those moments of weakness, those last few miserable yards of a run, those horrible mornings of comfortably cozy bliss when I want nothing more than to take just one day off, I will pull indignant spite for others judgment out of my toolbox and make it work on my behalf. I have yolked the wretched demon which kept me on the couch in the past and that little bastard is going to drag my fat ass to a better life.
