Like most of you, I am working to improve my overall health and well being, as well lose some weight.

It really sucks.

Mostly, because I continue to run head-long into the brick wall of realization that, alas, even I am getting older, and my superior specimen of the human machine is just not what it used to be.

I work in an environment where physical fitness and health is MANDATORY, and am given more than sufficient time to ensure that I am in compliance. Fitness is not my issue.

Fatness is.

I have been tailoring a new diet regime for the last few weeks, as well as my regular fitness training 3 to 5 times a week. Guess what? No change.

I am not about to start a blog about my weight loss journey or anything of that sort because in reality I only need to lose about 20 pounds. It’s not much to ask. But dammit am I fed up with it.

I just thought I’d share that brief diatribe that’s been bouncing around in my head. It was either that or make unpleasant faces at other drivers.
