Hi. My name is Trip, and it's been over 4 years since I've left the Marine Corps. My life has become somewhat sedentary since. I hate this. I hate the look of surprise when I mention to someone I used to be in the Corps. My 30+ extra pounds seem to contradict the image one expects of an ex-military man. I've joined gyms but always stopped going, paying dues for months before I decided to just cut
Hi. My name is Trip, and it's been over 4 years since I've left the Marine Corps. My life has become somewhat sedentary since. I hate this. I hate the look of surprise when I mention to someone I used to be in the Corps. My 30+ extra pounds seem to contradict the image one expects of an ex-military man. I've joined gyms but always stopped going, paying dues for months before I decided to just cut my losses. I realize that I'd taken for granted the group exercises and forced fitness. Now that I'm on my own, exercise seems the hardest thing for me to want or feel like doing. But I've reached a point where I don't like what's staring me back in the mirror in the morning. I don't like that my sedentary physical lifestyle as bleed into my professional and personal life as well. I no longer pursue challenges. Instead I seek ease and comfort. Well, I'm pretty damn tired of that now. So here I am, hoping that I can reclaim (and possibly improve upon) the body I once had, and that maybe, just maybe, it might affect those other waning parts of my life as well.
