Health & Fitness: The Road to 40 (Final Week)

Well, it’s only a couple of days until I reach that big Four-Oh.

December was a disaster in the fitness category. Not only did I have the whole emergency room crap from November carry over into physically not feeling well at all in December (I still think I severely pulled several core muscles), but I also was rather weak in resisting the sugar and fat that the holidays bring in the way of food (desert specifically).

January faired a little better but I still fell way short of the mark. This brings us the February. Yep, no more time left on the Road to 40. I am definitely in much better shape than when I started several years back. However, I’d have to say I was at my peak physically in November and have gone down hill just a little since then. It's too bad that I did not obtain the six-pack I want but there is still time in life I guess. Besides, if my body was perfect now, where would I go from here?

My goal for this year (the big Four-Oh) is to get back into five days at the gym every week. On top of that, a six-pack by summertime would be cool. We’ll just have to wait and see now won’t we.

One of these days, I’ll put up “before” and “after” pictures to show how far I actually have gone.
