I have been lifting weights regularly for a little over 6 months, and the results are starting to become visible. I never thought I would enjoy this type of workout, but I found a good trainer who listened and helped a middle-aged man develop his skills at an appropriate pace. It feels good to assert discipline on my body that doesn’t require as much mental grit as running or cycling. I no longer have what it takes to push through the “this is such bullshit” feeling; all that juice is used up at my job at the city.
I haven’t managed to lose any weight though, Still hovering around 220, when I’d like to be at 200. When I flex I feel like I look kind of big, but the flab gut needs to go. I need to cut the fat in a lot of different areas.
