It was hard to admit at first. You hear the comments, you here the snide remarks. But still, you refuse to face up to it. But deep down inside, it stings. It stings that you are reduced to a mere mocking point all while pretending to be unperturbed by the banality of it all. So face it - you're fat and you're getting old. The six pack abs have since been replaced by an unforgiving mass of jiggling fat. It's not like you can tune out and ignore it.
You have to man up at one time or another. So that's what I did. I decided to run. Cancel out all the PR's and endless training, for me it all boils down to losing weight. And in 6 mos of running I think I have been relatively successful. I stand about 5'10 in shoes, and I ballooned to 195 lbs already. Eeek. 6 months of blood, sweat and guts later I'm at 167 :) My original target was 165, but now I'm adjusting it to hit my college weight of 155 :) Wish me luck!
At Takbo.ph we have an abundance of weight loss success stories as well, people like Timmy, Natz, Sam, Carlo, Rodel to name a few. We are all fighting a common malaise, and while the battle appears to have been won, the war is far from over.
haha! natawa ako rito ha...
Lol Rodel :)
Luis, having Jinoe there and having the support from Timmy, Natz, Sam, Carlo and Rodel is definitely a camradrie which will help all of you.
The great thing is that all of you recognized the situation and are doing something about it. Also, it's good to see another group (team or club if one wants to call it) running. Takbo.ph continues to grow and you can see it on the website as well as the results from the races you guys are running.
Keep on running and continued success!
Thanks Wayne! It's a point of commonality, and we all strive to help ourselves improve whether it may be at the races or on the weighing scale :)
Luis, sino yung girl sa kanan mo, bakit mo pinutol? Baka si Katrina Halili yan! O baka naman si Hayden Kho???
Joke lang bro. Keep up the great work. Whoever said you're not built like a runner is wrong. You are a runner.
Haha secret! Lil sis of my gf :P Thanks for the words of encouragement Natz, one day I will strive to at least scratch the surface of the level you're currently at hehe.
