Getting Fit!

After two winters of getting sick a lot which made me feel quite sloth-like (Sloths move only when necessary and then very slowly: they have about half as much muscle tissue as other animals of similar weight. They can move at a marginally higher speed if they are in immediate danger from a predator (15 feet per minute), but they burn large amounts of energy doing so), my level of physical fitness has noticeably decreased. In turn, my weight has increased a tad.

Things have been better recently, so I've been able to get back to the gym on a regular basis. For over a month now, my friend, Tyler, and I have been hitting the gym to lift weights three days per week. We recently added in cardio to the mix, running on Tuesdays. I also try to swim once per week and I believe I might add in another cardio day on the weekend at some point, but not yet.

The results are already noticeable! I've been getting back a more toned figure and, more importantly, I've been feeling better - more positive and energetic. It's my hope that I lose about 8 pounds of fat (give or take) within the next two or three months. Yay!
