A Weighty Issue


Hey bloggity blog-blogs! Long time, no see.

Turns out my blogging duties were not the only thing I have neglected. Previously, I gained thirty pounds due to a medication, but successfully lost it by counting calories using an app called My Fitness Pal. Over the last few months, I gained that weight back—I got lazy with watching my diet, and I really, really enjoy food. I know I'm not obese or anything, but going by bmi, I am overweight.

The solution is, of course, to resume dieting. But there something else that might help: getting back to the gym.

There are a number of excuses not to go to the gym: my friends will not be joining me this time (and I have yet to work up the nerve to ask a stranger to spot me), it costs a lot, and there is the intimidation factor when anyone reasonably in shape happens to be there.

But those excuses are just that, excuses. There are tons of physical and mental health benefits and it is enjoyable.

Now I just have to keep at it.

(Pardon the horrible pun title.)
