Fighting the middle-age waistline

For most of this year, my track record at keeping in shape has been pretty dismal. Other than the occasional bike ride, run, or hike, I haven't really been hitting the gym. I recently realized that I needed to focus on getting back in shape. Being in my thirties, it is likely to be increasingly difficult over time to maintain a high level of fitness. One could say it is a peril of "old" age. So based on that, there is no time like the present to start getting back in shape. I have started going to the gym regularly, and I'm at the early stage where everything just gets sore. Where are my twenties when I need them?

It's amazing how busy our lives get, and how difficult it is to find (or make) time to work out. Plus, the motivation level for going to the gym is not particularly high after a long day at work. Let's see how well I keep this up.

Am I the motivation for this? :-/

Nope. I was rather annoyed with myself that I wasn't getting the long bike rides in this summer (I think I was doing a 40-60 mile bike ride almost every weekend last year). I finally got around to renewing my gym membership, and then realized just how completely out of shape I was. My bench press is pitiful now, and my abs ... well, they are hidden somewhere in there. I'm hoping to lose 15 lbs and three inches off the waistline. We'll see how successful I am.
