What this Blog is NOT

I just wanted to take some time at this point to tell you what this blog is, and what it is NOT. There are a ton of fitness related and exercise related blogs and websites on the internet. A lot of them are written by personal trainers or dieticians and are aimed at helping people lose weight or get in shape. Others are written by people who are giving advice whether or not they have the training and/or experience to do so.

I am not one of those people. What I am is a middle-aged potato. I am not trying to tell other people how to exercise or how to eat in order to lose weight. I don't have the training or the background to do that. What I am doing is telling my personal journey. I am going to have setbacks. I am going to make mistakes and I am going to keep going. I am not going to give up until I have achieved the kind of body and the fitness level that I am going for.

If you're looking for some sort of solution here, you're going to be disappointed. What you'll see is my personal and candid experiences with working out. I'm not someone who loves exercise (as a general thing). If you asked me three or four years ago whether I would be someone who went to the gym and drank protein shakes and chose to be active voluntarily and for fun, I would have thought that perhaps you were mistaking me for someone else.

And yet, here I am.

If you're someone who is on this same journey, I'd love it if you came along with me. I'd love it if you share your experiences with me and what has worked for you.
