Ok. Lets see. I have not worked out consistently in a long time. Its one or two times a week. That's about it. The main thing is that I'm lazy. There it is. I think back on how I got into amazing shape about 6 years ago. What was it that drove me to stay focused and to put together roughly 20 workouts per month, some months I burned 10000 plus calories.
I guess on of the things that has changed is that I have a partial tear in my rotator cuff. That sucks, I have to build its strength or I'm screwed. Oh, then there is the foot with the stress fracture tendencies - holy crap that sucked.
The thing is that I fear getting - or hurting - injured again. SO,
What to do:
Diet: The diet is the key here in so many ways.
Breakfast - I have to put time in to prep my breakfasts. I can follow the diet P90x or the other one that I have. The carbs. fats. and protein have to be .... that can wait.
Snack 1: Right. This is basic 100-175 cals and fat focused, Apple n peanut butter
Lunch: A good lunch not the crap that I've been eating. Make it on Sundays. Salads with grilled chicken, avocado etc
Snack 2: Meal replacement shake
Dinner: Good dinner that's clean
Working Out:
Ok, here we go. The thinking is that a program to follow at home is the way to go. The gym, getting to it, sucks in the morning. Period. I'm going to cancel my membership.
A few things: I have to use muscle groups that are combination-esque. I want to focus too on big muscle groups. Work on my core in general and abs specifically. Interval training is out there, but that s a wait and see.
Mon: Lift Tues: Core/cardio Wed: Lift Thurs: Core/ cardio Friday: Lift Sat: CC Sun: Cardio
The thing that I really have to get my head around is this: Why am I going to put so much time and energy into getting in shape. Well, one of the things is vanity. There it is. I want to not look like a middle age pudgy stomached balding smoe. So there's that. But the thing that I think about is the fucking aging process. I'm 52 and I have to build to maintain. And the one thing that I keep in my mind is how my wife used to tell me I looked great - that is been too long. I know that being in shape is good for you, and it's good for you mentally as well. I felt great about myself and it was reinforced by people in my life.
So here we go ... again.
