Sam vs. Basketball… a journey from hate to love…

I am such an idiot sometimes. That is the truth! I don’t know why I title my posts with such names or I take such crazy pictures of myself, but it is fun (for me at least), so I guess it isn’t all that bad. After Mike destroyed me yesterday I could barely get up this morning. I hit my snooze like 10 times before throwing myself out of bed to get to the gym. I knew I couldn’t do any major cardio as the bottom half of my body felt like I was learning to walk for the first time. Instead, I decided to spend about half an hour shooting basketball. It is a full body workout that may not be that intense, but still got me active. And as the name supplies, I had to find a way to engage the ball in a way only I could… We started out as enemies and ended up great friends. I would suggest you befriend the next ball you see…. BASKETBALL… BASKETBALL…
After my workout yesterday I am SOOOO angry at myself for not continuing last August with regular workouts. My body is back to thinking being sedentary is normal and getting it to do what I want is difficult again. I am not going to make the same mistake twice. Once I get revved up again, I am going to keep it going. I am more active than I was a year ago, but not active enough for me. I will get there… it will just take time. And I wish I could find someone who could work out with me at 6 in the morning M-F. That would be a great benefit, but how do you approach people. ”Hey, I see you are getting sweaty this early in the morning… want some company?”. I don’t want to be the strange stalker that people fear when coming to the Y.
I have to laugh a bit, because I feel like Peter Klaven in the movie “I love you, man”. Maybe I should start posting in personal ads… “I need someone who wants to spend a few hours a day working it hard with me…” My wife would love that one. I could just see her reaction to any crazies that would actually reply (mostly asking for monetary compensation). Well I shall pull back from any of that nonsense. If any of you live in Winston Salem, NC… and go to the YWCA… and are there at 6 AM… and have a blood type of A negative (optional), then hit me up and we can work it out (again, why do I sound like I am soliciting some sort of illegal activity).
Well… apparently I cannot type today without some type of double entendre, so I think I should stop… yeah.. that is the best idea. I will be posting a second post today as I need help with something and I know you can help. Have a fun one.
