You may have noticed the new background. Though the guitar was good, it wasn't really anything inspirational. I have always loved mountain biking, but have never been all that great at it because of my weight. So I made it my background so I can use it to help me get going. I started this blog over a year ago with the goal of using it to help me figure out who I am and why I do what I do. Well much hasn't changed except I did figure out that when it comes to weight loss, it takes a backseat when it comes to things like having a new baby arrive or going to school. I can't say that losing weight won't help me in getting a job, bit I can say when it comes to school in my mind, it won't help me make more money. But you know what they say, it's all about the first impressions. Having a nice suit and being trim and cut would make a great impression, so it is still my goal to get myself into shape.
Now on to the great part. I am finally graduating from school. I will walk on Friday!! I am really excited and I look forward to the future opportunities that I will have. But it is now time to buckle down and start getting serious about getting in shape. I have giving this a great deal of thought and I would seriously like to run four or five 5k races next year and also maybe one or two 10k, and also train to run a few mini marathons. You might say to yourself, really? Well, yes really. I am going to do this, my wife would like to run a few also. She wasn't able to run this year being pregnant, but next year we will both try to run a few. I don't know if we will try to run together, we both are at different stages in our fitness levels, but it might be fun to try and run one together one day.
Tonight I was able to get my food ready for tomorrow and write down all the food information. I am going to go back on the plan that my PT had me on when I first started with her. I am hoping that it won't take me long to get back to where I was and then surpass it. With school over with, I am excited to see what is going to happen and where I will go.
