Fatso to Muscles

Tonight was a great night for a run. I ran about 1.5 miles tonight. I felt really good after wards. However, it’s been a week since I’ve ran, and boy, it is harder than a week ago! I ran about 1.5 miles tonight and it seemed more harder than before.

Tonight was the first night I started running again. I had stopped running about a week ago because during that week, I was dead tired from working on my uncle’s place. I have not finished yet but the main things are completed. So now, I have time to exercise again and write again.

It was hard to get myself to exercise after I had called it a day working at my uncle’s place. I was really tired most, if not all, during the week I was there. I usually stayed there and worked for 8 or more hours. There were two times I had to stay there and work for 12 hours. I had to finish spraying out the place.

Now that most of the main things are finished, I have time to get my exercise in and continue writing for my blog. I had delayed my exercise and writing for over a week, which I shouldn’t have, but I was too physically and mentally drained.

So now that most things are completed, I now have time to get my objectives done. And today or tonight, I had time to get my training in.

I had ran about 1.5 miles tonight. My pace wasn’t as fast as before, but I finished non the less. It was harder for me tonight than a week ago. It is amazing how our bodies can get weak so fast if we do not exercise or apply stress to it.

I am thrilled to be back on track. I now will continue with my daily exercise and writing without further interruptions. Because I don’t want my body to decline in endurance and strength like it had.

To let you guy know what I have been doing for the last week or so. I have been helping my uncle with a house project. He asked me to help him spray out his house, interior and exterior. Guess what!? I finally finished! Well, not completely, but most of it, like 90 percent of it. One thing that I got from this project was that I could understand how most people have no time and energy after work. I for one, had no very little time and hardly no energy after work during this project.

At first, I thought he meant help him paint a room or some minor paint job. I had no idea how much he wanted me to do, and how big this project was going to be.

It was supposed to be some of my cousins, my uncle and me to do the job, but one by one, they all just left me hanging! I can’t blame them though because they live, at least, 30 or more minutes away, and I live only less than a mile away from my uncle’s place.

And all of them have other things to do than to spend their days at some old house scraping old paint and taping door knobs and light fixture that need not be sprayed.

I guess I was the only person that had nothing better to do during Spring break than to help out his uncle spray out some old house. It kept me busy and I made some money from it.

So I was put in charge of the housing project that my uncle gave me. He promised a hundred dollars a day, and so far, it’s been eight days I’d been working at his place, so I should get at least a grand because counting the many trips to Home Depot, he should throw in an extra two hundred for gas.

I’ll tell you what though, it is a lot of work. I usually spend a minimum of eight hours a day working on the house and getting it ready for spraying.

I can understand how many people struggle to lose weight or even get in shape for that matter. During this project after work, I am so tired; I usually eat something, take a shower, and then hit the sack because usually after I finished, it is already late.

So I can relate in some ways how many people say they are busy throughout the day and after wards they are tired and are not willing to put the energy to exercise, because there is practically no energy left.

The time that I’m writing this is about 30 ’till 11 P.M. I got done two hours ago from this time, and I’ve been up since 9 A.M today. Now I have a better understanding of how and why people cannot exercise when they are done with their work, particularly blue collar workers.

During the project, after work it would be late and I barley had enough energy to focus on writing and updating my blog. At first, I thought I could handle it. I thought after work I could write a post or two, but had no idea how draining it could. That was why I haven’t updated my blog since the beginning of April.

That would be that last of that! I will have to dedicate my time and energy on my blog first and focus on others second. I usually write most of my post during the evenings. I would have to change that to mornings now.

So all in all, I’ve learned that it is balance; however, it is really hard it terms of energy. We only have so much energy in a day and once we’ve used it up, we need to replenish it by eating and sleeping. So next time, if there is a project like that again, I would definitely rearrange my objectives/tasks for the day and see how it will go from there.
