Fighting Belly Fat, Begins

I didn't think it would ever come to this. Since I retired from Gymkana in 1999, the fat from my healthy all-you-can-eat diet have been collecting in my mid-section. My belly button was visible but now it is under 1 inch of belly fat. Now I find myself, like many American, over weight. NO!!.. I'M NOT FAT...but I am carrying more fat that the medical community recommend for my height. I complained about it to my wife, I pinched it, I squeezed, I jiggled it, but the result was the same. I only collected MORE Belly Fat. Well, now that I have time, I'm going to fight it.

My plan is to go to the gym 4 days a week for 30 to 40 minutes and do something that will make me sweat. I'll run for 20 minutes, some chin-ups, dips, and maybe ... dare I say it . . . sit-ups/ crunches. And I'll make more of an effort to take the dogs for long hike on my day off. I never thought that I would have to work out to get fit. I guess that is what everyone else is thinking too. I'll even drive up to Columbia to go rock climbing for an hour or so. And when the weather is nice I'll take the bicycle for a spin in the woods. Any one who wants to join me is welcome. I'll be doing all this on Friday of course.
