Work it out...

"Back in the day
When I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days, I sit
And wish I was a kid again..."

...so I could go to the gym without crying and feeling sorry for myself.
Today, Ebony woke me up from my peaceful sleep (and NO. I didn't shoot her), to ask me if I wanted to go work out. Now, as most you know, I haven't gone to a gym in over 2 years. I have shamelessly paid for my last year of membership at Gold's Gym without going once! The price to pay for laziness. For those who have known me for a long time, you remember that there was a time where I was at the gym 3-4 times a week and I could squat more than some of the guys that would go work out me (back in the day).

Those days are long gone, and today I went to the gym for 35 minutes and wanted to die. First of all, I tried to get on the bike... That was too hard after 3 minutes. Then I decided to get on the Elliptical... I stayed there for a whole 22 minutes!!! (I had to drop the incline to 1 and the resistance to 7). I was sweating like never before! I mean "back in the day", I use to run cross-country for miles without breaking a sweat!!! Today, I was so dizzy when I got off that machine of HELL, that I had to go sit by the AC while Ebony completed her 30 minutes on the machine right next to me.

Then, I decided to attack the weights... They attacked me!!! I struggled to complete my repetitions while Ebony was saying: "Man! You arms got so little. I remember they used to be so big and ripped." That's when "I sat and wished I was kid again." I didn't let Ebony stretch. I told her that we could do that at home. I needed food and water. I had just worked out 250 calories out my body. I needed to replenish the supplies. So as soon as we got home, I had a 140-calorie yogurt and 300 calories worth of Doritos.

I was so tired that I had to take a break, even from eating... I think that now I'm ready to go take a shower...
