My Body

2007 is coming to a close and I have been giving some thought to what my goals for 2008 would be. For sure one of them will be getting back to the gym and yoga. A lot happened in 2007 that prevented me from going to the gym on a regular basis. I want to set realistic goals for myself. I was lying in bed last night trying to formulate the goal of going back to the gym. It isn't enough to have that as a goal. I needed to have more specific results attached to the goal. In trying to determine what the results were that I wanted I came to the conclusion that I wanted to look like I did when I was in my thirties. I have always been lean. The word skinny comes to mind, but I hate the word. I have always had a small waist. I still hover around 30 inches. After the bike ride I was back to a 28 inch waist. I haven't had a 28 inch waist since I was in my twenties. I had a toned, fit body in my thirties. People found me sexy. But here is life's colossal joke. I didn't want the body I had when I was in my thirties. I always wanted to be bigger. A muscle bound jock. That never happened. Where did the body go I used to hate. I want it back. I will never complain again about my body if I regain the body I once had and hated.
