From studies I've read, cardio is necessary to maintain good health (prevent arteries from hardening etc.). It's just the way we're built.
I'm trying to motivate myself to go past eating healthy. I'm not a slob, just a regular guy showing that at 36 (soon 37) the metabolism is not what it used to be. The day I wanted to sign up for the gym, I had a rush to the ER, believing I was having a heart attack (pain in chest, jaw and arm). It wasn't that (wrong arm, LOL, btw). But the blood work showed issues that had me stay away from any strenous exercise. They have cleared in the meanwhile, though.
I walk a lot at least. I mean a lot.
As of today, it's been slightly more than a year since a divorce I haven't seen coming and although now I'm well there were days when I had to motivate myself for pretty much every step I had to take. 11 years down the drain, for a guy that "did everything right" throughout his entire life. If anyone asked me, I would've preferred to be shot in the face. I have lingering health issues and much of my life is upside-down. Some have cleared, thank God. They all will.
I keep joking: "Some go through mid-life crisis around my age, I am the exception and had a justified one."
The funniest thing? After receiving several shier signals from her, a 21 year old asked for my phone number. Man she is hot. I see myself older than I am, though. I'm fighting against this. Everyone else thinks I'm way younger. I am that good guy at core, who's not the typical shy, creepily nice one and for some reason I have more success with the opposite sex than when I was much younger.
I'll maybe trust a woman again one day. I'm not looking for a rebound or fling. I don't need one just to say I'm not sleeping alone. I never did. But I bet it will take longer than your finger to heal!!
