70 lbs. down. Now I can rant about obnoxious fitness fanatics.

108. I'm lucky

I enjoy working out. I mix it up in that I do martial arts, gymnastics, biking and I've picked up parkour.

The martial arts, gymnastics and parkour kind of feed on each other in terms of having a fair amount of overlap. Biking I've done less frequently lately because I've had my evenings more taken up, but I want to get back in the habit.

I just enjoy the feeling of sweating (which is good because I sweat a lot), and that feeling of being really sore after pushing myself. But the only people I give grief about not being at a workout are those who train as much as I do. But I also have the benefit of not having kids or a significant other and a body that is often in pain, but rarely injured so I can mostly train as often as I want. I think it also helps that I can be rather competitive about keeping up and so I will push harder if those around me do.

But I don't begrudge those who don't work out. It's hard, people are busy, it's bloody cold out, I hate the idea of going to a gym too, I really struggle with trying to eat correctly and taking the proper time to recover and ice just adds more into what needs to be done.
