Memoirs of a Soon-to-Be Former Fat Guy

Yup. That’s how many days I’ve hit the gym. So far, so good for the Un-Resolution.

Today was basically a cardio day. I went and hit the treadmill for 35 minutes, doing my last five minutes at 3.5 mph. I know, it doesn’t sound like much, but for me, it’s a big step. My ankles are aching, but this too shall pass. I can’t stop gushing about the moisture wicking socks. They’ve really done a good job at keeping Stubby and Wayne blister-free. The socks I’ve been wearing are PowerSox Power Lites. Found them at a Dick’s Sporting Goods in Davenport, FL (don’t ask) after some good luck with Nike Dri-Fits that were too tight. Went looking for ankle socks, found these, and haven’t looked back.

So, today, Supportive Partner Woman (lover of musical theater!) and I are headed to State College, PA, where she and a friend will be going to see Les Miserables. I think I’ll be passing on that one. Maybe I’ll take in The Hobbit or Skyfall instead. We shall see.

Tomorrow, I’m going to hit the gym  and do some weights in addition to cardio, then the day is open. SPW did mention perhaps a visit to the Lego Store. Always a fun time doing that, so I have hopes.

Speaking of Lego, here’s some creative use of minifigs:

Anyway, I hope you all have a happy weekend!
