No offense to anyone who is fat, obese, bulging, muffin top, or just plain enjoyed life via eating and relaxation.
Now is the time to get back to a somewhat healthy lifestyle. I'm not talking about looking like the latest Hollywood model, but getting healthy for a better quality of life.
I'm fat myself. My story starts over 20 years ago when through some stupid actions on my part, I crashed a motorcycle. When metal meets bone, metal always wins! The resulting damage to my body left me in a state that was geared toward getting fat. The footpeg of the motorcycle slammed directly into my right ankle and my left hip took the full brunt of the blow. The socket of my left hip exploded and my hip ball headed for the sky. The only thing stopping my hip from going compound in fracture were some baseball shorts that kept everything inside my body.
The first 10 years were horrible after the accident; pain was present everyday. I'm talking about the kind of pain that forces you to hold your breath. The doctors informed me that my days of exercising were over; hence the belly began to grow. I reached 285 pounds for a 6 foot man. My health detoriated each day.
I tried to start walking every so often, but each time after about three days the pain in my hip would keep me from sleeping at night. I tried to use Tylenol and Motrin to ease the pain. Yet, doing normal tasks like going to the bathroom and getting off the seat, bending over to pick up the dropped bar of soap in the shower, or trying to enjoy the love of my wife were unbearable.
This blog is for those men and women who are fat for whatever reason. Please share your story with me. My goal for this blog is to help you with how I have started on the road to recovery of a healthly life. I still have a belly, but my health has improved dramatically. For two years now, I have been exercising pain free and want to share the routines that have helped me to get healthy.
