Survival of the Fittest

God. Why am i getting fatter and fatter as the days go by. I thought stress from school was supposed to make students thin. But apparently it works both ways. Students can get thin from the academic anxiety, or they could also grow fat. And unfortunately i belong to the latter group.

After reading all the 'COLLEGE MADE ME FAT' posts from numerous friends, i decided to join the fray. Granted, our group whining will never get us anywhere the respective weights we want to target, so action is obviously needed. I don't know about my friends, but my workout will entirely consist of running and cycling. I think the cycling part will be the most dominant part of my exercise regimen, because cycling is less tiring and the feeling of sweat trickling down your back, along with the breeze rushing to your face and body is just fantastic.


The reason why i want to exercise again is because my dear old fat uncle decided to lend me his bike, since he doesn't use it anymore. Rather than leave the poor old thing to rot in disuse, i decided to use it to sculpt my future body. I do hope i get the bike ASAP. I want to hop on it and start pedaling right away. Physical education this college is only limited to PE classes themselves, and due to this, i want to do something more to help myself, lest i become - God forbid - a pasty, flabby boy in his teens. I want abs and biceps and whatnot. Haha. Honestly. But not like those over-exercised Mr. Olympia types who seem to digest steroids on a daily basis. I just want a toned body.

Discipline, i think, is my only potential impediment for me to achieve my goal. I once did an exercise workout consisting of weightlifting, sit-ups, and push-ups. It was over in four days.

Sad.

But now i will push myself further. I wasn't so athletic during High School, and i am ashamed for that. I had all the time to engage myself in different sports and recreations, but i didn't strive to take part in many of them. But now i know that must change. Damn. I just HOPE i'll be able to pull this off. But hey. I like cycling anyway, so i guess my goal can't be that far off.

Hopefully.

Cheers to us who want to be fit this year, and the coming years. Pot-, beer-, and whatever-bellied men and women we shall NOT become. :)
