Back at it again….

3-11-21: It has been a long while since I have written about this four month journey that I have yet to finish. Well, here I am at 43 and no better time then now! Lets go back to fall of ‘20 during the pandemic. Flag football was just finishing up. I organized a make shift team of 5th grade kids and dads who were looking for things to do since all sports were cancelled in our community. This was great, running around with the kids on the field feeling like 17 again. This was followed by an upcoming ski season where I help coach on the race team. Wanting to not fail the kids I went into a mini boot camp mid October to Thanksgiving. Workouts consisted of the usual treadmill ( I hate running) and bodyweight exercises. My workout consisted of the following: Lunges, squats, wall sits, leg lifts, crunches, and balance. I threw in treadmill time and the standard bench, and back workouts. I dropped about 10lbs and felt really good heading into ski season. Fast forward about 4 months and ski season is winding down. I could tell I lost all my muscle gains on the top half. The bottom is still holding strong and I just got back from 4 days out at Breckenridge with the family and besides sore legs at the end of the day they were fresh to go the very next morning. Win win for the Jim!! Sitting in the car as we drive back from Colorado to Wisconsin, eating all kinds of crap food, from McDonald’s breakfast to Culver’s for lunch, which is the best. I started to develop a game plan into a two month dash into summer. So the new plan is to go from tomorrow (Friday) to Memorial Day weekend and hit it hard with the weights and the cardio. I love to play golf and have a boat so the dad bod needs to come back out. Stay tuned to see what I can do to transform myself into in a few short months.
