I know I've posted and stated that "sex" is the main reason we workout...
...but on a serious note:
Asthma, sleep apnea, acid reflux…All of these things that I carry on a day to day basis & all of these can lead to death.
I am already starting to feel the effects of sleep apnea – headaches! And I’m afraid that the headaches are a result of me having several bouts where I stop breathing throughout the night. And in turn, my brain may not be getting enough oxygen – which is cause for the headaches! (Scary)
I’m living on a double edged sword – my obesity contributes to my health problems (asthma, sleep apnea, acid reflux), but my health problems hinder me from exercise.
1. Asthma – shortness of breath, which means short workouts – if any
2. Sleep Apnea – when I wake up numerous times throughout the night, I do not get adequate rest – so much for that morning session of cardio
When it all boils down to it, I have no choice but to fight through these excuses and get as much exercise as I can, until I am able to work up to working out for 1 hour each day.
I have a wife, and 2 kids (5 & 7) plus a lot of nieces & nephews that tragically lost their father…
…for me – It’s do or die (And I can’t afford to die)
“Make a goal, not an excuse…”
About Me
- The TX Kreminole
- Somewhere, South - Ya'll, United States
- There is really nothing special about me. I'm just a husband/father who's trying to keep his marriage & kids out of danger. I think in the process of doing this, I have lost myself, a sense of who I am. That's why I'm going through this transformation. - This transformation is not just about physical health (lean body), it's also about mental & emotional health. Ya see, we live in a world that throws alot at you, and I think the 30 somethings that are in the world right now are a transition generation. We grew up in an "old school" household with our parents/grandparents, but the ways of the world and our own rebellion of these old school teachings has caused us to breed a culture of chaos. We want to be our kids friends, but we want them to respect us as parents. We want to have a 50/50 marriage, but we hold it against each other for not being the "man or woman of the house." - I am faced with the challenge of trying to cultivate a strong marriage (60% divorce rate), while raising children who would be considered "abnormal" because unlike their friends, they are still in a 2 parent household.
