I am adapting a personal blog from a decade ago. Back then, I was a single guy working out and working. I had few responsibilities outside that. I am now a husband, father of 3, am a volunteer Sunday School teacher and work with two separate little league teams, while also renovating our home.
I now have less time. MUCH less time.
In looking around for inspiration for my fitness journey, I found a few pages which I found helpful, but many of them were either too simple and not challenging, or way too involved and dedicated (pro CrossFit athletes and ripped guys with their own lines of supplements). I, like most folks looking at becoming active and fit, lie in between these two groups.
And that is what I would like to show you all. A fitness journey which does not devote a bunch of money to fitness gadgets, fancy equipment, food services which cost 3 times more than my grocery budget, supplements, or subscriptions to expensive gyms or online/virtual classes. I will shop sales for my weights ( $180 for a 325lbs weight set from Dunham's Sporting goods), browse YouTube and Google for challenging workouts or download free apps for daily challenges, eat home cooked meals bought by a frugal couple while sprinkling in normal people foods such as pizza, doughnuts, chocolate almonds, ice cream... you get the picture.
In other words, I am going to do what normal folks do when they want something; budget my time, money, and energy, and make sacrifices to get what I want.
