Mussing: Weight and Writing

I was looking through some of my archive this morning, and noticed a post I created back in August (Living and writing). Five months ago, I had apparently been really focused on exercise and it was having a positive impact on both my health as well as my writing. In fact, I notice over the last five months at least a third of the posts have related to health or being active in some major way. So it’s on my mind a lot and with this being the new year, maybe I need to actually get myself into gear with all of those great plans.

Thinking about the writing when looking at the archive, I also notice most of my blog posts are about two-three weeks apart. One wonders why the readership here has never really “sparked.” Perhaps I can change that. I can make enough time in the morning to exercise and write if I actually go to sleep when I’m supposed to. There isn’t a single thing that should keep me up past 12am on any given weeknight and that would let me wake up around 7.

So maybe that’s what I have to do now. Write and exercise. It’s a good combination and I think it’ll lead me to a more fulfilling place in terms of my desires. Now, mind you, I won’t be writing a blog piece every weekday. There is only so much I can write about without focusing more on reporting on things. Yet, there are pieces of flash fiction I could write every other morning, posts to write over at TDC, and projects tied into my game creation work. There’s always something to work on available, so I frankly don’t have a viable excuse to not do something creative each morning.

    Hey Justin. You may know from TF2 F7LANS as Ouch. I came across your profile and noticed that you are in Tampa, FL. I’m in Saint Petersburg, so I got curious and found your site. I too have suffered awhile now from being over weight. It started gradually after I got out of the military and over the years kept working up. I always said I would never get up towards 300, that would be ridiculous, but now I find myself at 315! I hate it, my knees and legs hurt all the time when walking and I just don’t generally like myself. So this year I too have made a decision as well to fix the problem. I’m cutting back on the portions, eliminating fast food runs, walking the dog ( he’s happy ) and using a Wii Board to get me fat ass moving for at least 30 minutes a day. Its not easy by any stretch, but I got too do something now before I seriously endanger my health. Anyway, just thought I would share with you and wish you luck on your battle as well. Feel free to contact me and let me know how its going if you like.
