Hard Headed

Written on January 12th, 2010

I love my litte sister. I absolutely adore the little girl.  She isn’t a kid by any stretch of the imagination but you have to understand, she is 31 and I am almost 46.

I remember her when she ran around in diapers. Lord have mercy, she followed me everywhere I went.

One of the nice things about the chick is that she isn’t much of one for small talk and or drama. You must be asking if she is normal and sometimes I scratch my head wondering why she doesn’t talk much.  When she speaks, people listen.  Our leadership styles are different. 

Perhaps a few of you will recall a post about my sister gaining a hell of a lot more weight than I ever dreamed possible.  When I see her picture now it immediately evokes a response such as *”HOLY S**T” and so forth. Just being honest. Nobody and I mean nobody really wants to gain that kind of weight. Her husband (I am closer to him than my own brother) has packed it on too.

Anyhow, she sends me a text message that she is going running with Jason and that they intend on doing a mile. I tell her that they should start slow and run/walk for time (like for 30 minutes) and all that other training mumbo jumbo stuff..Not old hard head. One mile…..gonna do it again tonight.

The coach in me wants to improve her training and the human being in me also tells me to keep positive even if it makes my eyes roll back into their sockets.

The bottom line is I don’t want them to be frustrated by slow results, injuries or burnout.

 

I’ll come back and finish in a little bit…

Peace,

Bobby

Awesome! It’s good she is making a start in that direction. Maybe she will slow down after a while and pace herself. Maybe you can invite her for a walk? I tried that with my brother but he won’t go :P
I never thought I could gain as much as I have but so it goes. Let her do her thing. It’s great she has your support.

What can I say? Another whirlwind and all of a sudden I have to close out my post.
I am pretty nuts when it comes to training even if I am on a gradual decline. There are certain parameters that work for me and I totally agree if I was starting over I would suggest they walk 5minutes, run one for a period of 40 or so minutes until they eventually convert it to run 5, walk one and from there a continual jog. Takes dedication and effort.

I have been shoveling snow does that count as a work out? I needed to work off all those cookies I have been baking and eating.

I agree with your method. Starting slow and building up stamina is the best way to do it.

They should both see their doctor b4 they start exercising. From the sound of it they could have high blood pressure and no one wants to get hurt. Also all the running in the world won’t help if they don’t change their eating habits. I know been there done that lol. That’s the hardest part but if u stick to it the weight will come off and stay off. Hey I now look good for a soon to be 57 year old cougar lol.
