By One Foot In The Grave Guy
Of course by the title you’d think that this guy was once in shape, but that would naturally depend on the definition of “shape”. For most Half Dead Guys like me, we wake up one morning, and while looking in the mirror actually stop and wonder what happened…who’s that guy? This happened to me about 10 years ago, so I no longer shave in front of the mirror but rather in the shower, problem solved! But, the shower thing has come home to roost now. It seems that it takes more soap to wash my body. And, why would that be? Probably for the same reason that it takes more denim in my newest pair of blue jeans or more leather in my belts!
So now I’m endeavoring to try to get myself back into shape and from everything I’ve read it seems like the first thing to do is to set some realistic goals. My first goal will be to get back in shape before it’s too late. This is totally manageable and I’m feeling better already about no pressured timeline.
The second thing I need to do before I start exercising is see my physician. He needs to make sure that I’m in good enough shape before I can really get myself in shape. This does seem a little backwards. I know plenty of guys who go to the doctor when something is wrong and they’re in great shape…so why don’t I do this? BH…enough said! Hopefully he won’t tell me that it’s too late because then I would have to rename myself the “Mostly Dead Guy”.
Then, after that, I’m going to set out to learn as much about exercising and fitness and perhaps sign-up for an on-line exercising community. Large teams may not be great at work, but when it comes to fitness support from other is the key. I’ve found two that are intriguing: http://www.gyminee.com/ which shows exercises, allows tracking and logging of exercises and food intake, and friends. The other, http://www.crossfit.com/, provides a WOD (that’s Work-Out of the Day), but is really hardcore. This site is ideal for the guy who wants to not only chase down a bad guy but beat the crap out of him as well!
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the more out of shape I get, the more fitness magazines covered with ripped guys show up at my door. Their piercing eyes never let you forget your career involves mostly sitting in meetings and exercising your Pterygoidei muscles. While you're at work tomorrow, that smiling guy to the right will be at the gym, tannery, or on a photo shoot. I think I know why he's smiling...
More to come of HDG's fitness program…but now it's off to my refrigerator for a cold one!

Some half dead guys are even wondering what are they doing here? Still looking for a place to live on earth :-) Do i want to be a one and a half dead guy amongst a billion or a half dead amongst the millions? Don't know where the dead body would like to go though :-)))))))))))) Your half dead friend is still breathing the air here with no greenery ($$) in sight, but didn't know sometimes the air becomes green when it's not available.
I will look forward to your posts...keep it up half dead guy :-)
Leaving soon...talk to you later.
very funny...I can totally relate.
