I'm 29. I feel fat and lathargic. My energy level seems at an all time low. Something needs to change. Today I came home at 6:30pm after having a couple of Mexican Martinis with my co-workers and boss and after another relatively easy day at work and my plan was to go ride my bike (yes I was sober!). I went upstairs to change and decided to lay down for a bit. Well 4.5 hrs later I woke up dissapointed that I had conked out for so long and didn't even work out. I was starving and decided to go to Walgreens for a Digiorno supreme pizza and some French Onion sun chips and a Arizona sweet tea. Like I said...something needs to change.

So my plan for tomorrow is to simply ride my bike to and from work. I want to start doing this daily. It is a 4 mile trek each way so my daily bike ride would be 8 miles. This accomplishes two things. It gets my metabolism going first thing in the morning and at minimum in the case that I don't work out one day at least I am doing the bike ride. As I get used to riding and as my back recovers I can then start getting some cardio weightlifting in there as well as some high intensity cardio like running, sprinting, etc.

Here are some stats on the current state of the Pedro Garza union:

Weight: 252 (6hr high)
Basal Metabolic Rate: 2403.96
Body Mass Index: 30.7 (the website that calculated this for me told me I was obese lol...doh!)

Other stats that are to come are:
Body fat%
waist to hip ratio

Need metrics too....more to come
