I've just got big bones
On a serious note I actually put on about 20kg of fat from drinking copious amounts of beer and lots of fast food. I knew I was getting heavier but because I wasn't playing sport anymore I didn't care. The realization that I was getting fat came around a month ago when I had to buy a complete new wardrobe of t-shirts for work. I was wearing Large shirts but I was being strangled so I had to upgrade to XL. After I bought the new shirts I felt alright but than last week I noticed a lot of my trousers weren't fitting anymore. I was sucking in my gut and the buttons popped so that's when I made a decision that I've got to change. When I measured my waist I was horrified. Type II Diabetes, cardiovascular issues, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis and joint/tendon issues are all stuff that I'm exposing myself to by being this heavy. That and the fact that I feel embarrassed to take my shirt off these days as well
On the job front it's going great. I love my job and I'm working in an office now, which has always been the goal. I know some people complain about 9-5 life being boring but compared to labouring or waking up at 3am each morning to work in a meat factory this is like winning the lottery. I've been working in the same job ever since I moved back to my home state in March 2014. That's one huge positive in my life and given me a lot of self-esteem as well as some financial security.
I finish work in a couple of hours and than I'm off to train. It's a beautiful afternoon here so I'm going to go down to the track and do some tempo runs. I was planning on doing some sets of 200m in 30 seconds with 10 minute rest between each set. However, I'm thinking that might be a bit too ambitious since I haven't been to the track at all for yonks. I'll do some tempo 100s instead.
