Why Write This Blog?
I’m someone that finally had their wake up day and discovered that this extra weight I was lugging around was having a dramatic effect on many aspects of my life. Please understand I wasn’t looking into drastic medical procedures or fad diets that give would give me quick water loss and make me feel jumpy or hungry. I’m sure they’re fine for others, just not for me. I wanted to find the correct method that could make a real change in my life. I’m not completely sure on how to approach this issue since I’m not a medical professional, but I feel that I do need to do something about my health; and it has to be soon.
As I get older there are some changes taking place a lot faster than they used to. Aches and pains in places that I don’t remember being there when I was a just a little younger. Trips to the doctor’s office were more frequent and there were now medications prescribed on the way out the door. A regiment of blood pressure medication, acid blockers, and cardiac care that made me feel much older that the 56 years of age I am. Nexium was a daily pill that I took and I had a diagnosis of Gastro Esophagus Reflux Disease (GERD) where my stomach was battling with my body and giving me feelings associated with cardiac issues.
I caught myself looking in the mirror and knowing that this wasn’t person that my wife really married. The vow of “for better or worse” had now become “and I take this fat slob”. I became self consensus of what I had become and it made me find ways of dressing only without anyone around. I was tired all the time and had no control over what foolish thing I put in my body. To tell you the truth, I was eating like I was still in High School.
All of this was no good. It took an overweight coworker to get stage III Esophagus cancer and die within 6 months of finding out. That one thing made me sit up and decide that I needed to do something or this would happen to me too.
Now, I’m just one out of the millions of baby boomers, nothing really special, but I didn’t want to end up as just another fat guy statistic. So I started a diet, exercise and fitness mission and thought that others may benefit from what I’m doing. So I put together this site to educate mostly those that are starting to know that they can’t continue to be overweight or obese and as a help to myself to get back in control. This is not just a small trip, but a long journey to wellness.
So, look around and see if there’s anything that may help you and if I can explain anything or you just want to chat you can always drop an e-mail to me at trooney@homefitnessbody.com
