Yes, I’m still here.

In what seems to be the recurring theme of Better Body Journal, I post and update for a few weeks, then other things get my attention in life, and I end up neglecting the goals I set forth for myself. It’s not that I’m unmotivated, but over time I lose track of goals that I set for myself because I can’t focus on them. I guess there are a number of things to combat this which I should look into if I want to make anything out of Better Body Journal.

Swole for Summer Update. Fall Seven times. Stand up Eight

For a while after I stopped updating this website, I was still dieting, exercising, and taking pictures with the intention of providing updates, but at a more seldom rate. Then about a week or two ago I fell back into the old habits of fatness and debauchery and stopped altogether. Matter of fact I haven’t been to the gym in like 3 weeks until today.

So, Swole for Summer is back on track but of course I really have to haul some ass if I want to reach my goals. The fact is I need to stick to it for as long as I can, and when I lose interest or get distracted, I need to get back on track as soon as possible. It’s like letting a little cut on your arm stand untreated, have it get infected, then do something about it until it’s too late: BAM! You’re dead with gangrene!

That’s probably a bad analogy, but nonetheless over time I will probably die early from heart disease (the leading killer among men) or something else that is preventable by being healthy and fit. Truthfully, death isn’t one of my concerns, but my social life is. When I was more in-shape (God, I hate saying that), meeting girls and hooking up were of no problem to me. But in the shape I’m in, its still a matter of self-confidence. Some women may find me attractive in my current shape, but they don’t find the lack of confidence appealing when it comes to talking to them.

I don’t know what it is, but my weight is directly correlated to how much fun I’m having in my life. That may sound like no big deal, but as I get older it feels like time is flying the hell by. It’s almost insane really. But I’ve also noticed that if I’m having fun, going out and socializing a lot, my life moves at a much slower pace. At least there is meaning and reward. Anyways, I got off track. Just know that I really want my weight loss and this website to be successful. I will try my best.
