He’s my age. And its nice.
I went on vacation with him and his family. It was a beach vacation and, well, there it was, for all to see – a mostly exfoliated hard torso, crowned by a full head of hair. I was envious.
The thing is, I’m not exactly sure why I’m much flabbier than he is. His eating is not much better or less than mine (although he drinks alcohol only rarely and in small quantities). His lifestyle is no healthier. He stretches daily for his back and gets 30 minutes of aerobic workout three times a week, but otherwise doesn’t work out.
Two primary reasons thus present themselves. Genetics – I simply can’t do anything about that. The other, less generous, thought, is that those two faint scars on his abdomen look like they are from incisions. Could he have had liposuction or some kind of cosmetic procedure?
Regardless, I’m back from vacation and have renewed my trips to the gym with increased vigor. My goal is an hour of exercise (combination of aerobic and weights) five times a week. I’m watching what I eat, and drink. My wife has commented that the rogaine like product is visibly doing something that she likes. I know that I will have to wait a while to see any movement in my weight, and my goal is to stick with the regimen long enough to stick it out.
I saw my brother-in-law’s body. It’s a new ballgame.
