Naked Camping and out of synch

This weekend just passed I took off to the NSW Southern Highlands a couple of hours out of Sydney to River Island Retreat, a clothing optional retreat where along with a mate, we were the only people camping. Saturday afternoon was a bit brisk with wind blowing up the river but I still managed to go for a walk of a couple of km naked. Saturday night was freezing cold but Sunday was bright and sunny so more wandering and exploring nude was done in the sunshine after seeing a cute little platypus swimming up the river after a night’s foraging for food.

On Sunday I jumped under the camp shower that my friend has (he has everything ever invented for camping) and freshened up and my friend took the shots above of me doing so. Now I’ve tried to explain that I’m as out of shape as I’ve ever been and I’ve realised what it is. No I’m not obese or fat but I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and not for the right reasons. Over the last few months I’ve eaten badly and not trained anywhere near enough and the reason I feel so horrid is that I’ve realised that I don’t feel as in tune with my body as I usually do.

I’ve always been a sporty and active person, swimming every day as a kid, gymnastics, tennis, surfing and rowing. Everyone told me when I hit 30 I was going to get fat with the amount of food I eat and how undisciplined I am with what I eat. Stupidly I kinda figured when the deadline for my metabolism abandoning me passed without trouble I might have gotten away with it. Sadly that now doesn’t seem to be the case. Approaching my 37th birthday (October 7th) it looks like I finally need to start paying more attention to my wellbeing. Hence my current fitness challenge and having chicken and veggies for dinner tonight.

    can i just quickly say… what are you talking about?
    i most definitely would not be kicking you out of bed, i think by the looks of these photos you’ve got a great body.
    that being said though, i’ve been told the same thing but am not comfortable in the way i look.

    but the moral of my story is, i think you’ve got a deliciously great bod!

    I read your blog everyday, it amazes me that you put yourself out there the way you do. Yes you have hit the beginning of the plateau we call middle age. Let me tell you I’m 50 work out on a daily basis and look pretty damn good for my age. I see nothing wrong with the way you look. It amazes me how men always want to look like they did in their mid 20′s trust me IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Accept your mature body for what it is and enjoy it. You definately are not obese by any means. And I find you hot as hell.

    If you feel a real discomfort with your body you can do something about it, and if not somebody has a lot more to love.
