Hey, man. It’s been a while. If you’ve been watching the news, there is very little coming out Iraq, because we’re being very successful. Noting to report here, so they move on to Alec Baldwin and other blowhards from Hollywood!
Anyhow, Here’s one thing that I KNOW works, and that’s exercise. 5’9, 215, 140/100…not good. When I was at my worst, exercise always picked me up. If you haven’t exercised, it’s tough to start, but one you make it a lifestyle, it pays off. This can be a 180 of gigantic proportions if you physically make yourself over, because it really helps emotionally. Dropping about 60 pounds would be great for your image, and would have to make your wife think that you really have taken charge of your life. Start by walking, if nothing else. It really makes those endorphins flood your body, and puts you in such a better place. Secondly, it’s great to relieve stress, and you are under tremendous stress right now.
Enough of that. It’s a grind, my friend. I’ve only recently concluded that it’s over. It may be harder when I get home and actually have to face it, but I believed that my W. has turned a switch, that can never be turned back on. She is the most calcified person I know or have ever known.
If you can turn that corner, everything else becomes a bit easier. I may think I’m there, but who knows? When my D17 told me that “mom still wants a divorce”, that threw cold water on me. I have to accept it, anything else is gravy. I hope you can get there, but really, take charge of your diastolic, systolic and waist line. Looking in the mirror, you’ll feel a lot better about yourself, and your W. can’t help but notice as well. A huge, unpredicted 180.
I got here and I was in pretty good shape, except I had been drinking too much beer. With no beer here, and working out daily, I look at my face and can see the weight distribution. I really like the way I look without the beer bloat (but I also love beer!) Stick with protein, lose the carbs! This one I DO know!
