It is no secret that since HS I have fought this battle that is called weight...Weight goes up, weight goes down. I get into a disciplined period and rock, and then I let myself go...Right now I find myself at a crossroads...I have to make a decision and I have to stay the course..So tomorrow, June 18th, I start my training for November 4th. The diet will change, not a diet, but the diet will change and the work-outs will intensify. This happened back in 2009 when I trained for the Marine Corps Marathon and got in the best shape of my life.
The goal this time is simple....40 pounds...40 pounds by Race Day...40 Pounds by November 4th. I owe it to myself, my family and our Men and Women around the globe that I will be representing when I run those 26.2 miles for the USO. At this time, I do not have a GOAL time, instead, my goal is to stay healthy, disciplined and on TASK.
Attached is a poster that is hanging in my office door and in our house...I will see it everyday when I wall into my office and I will see it everyday when I walk down our house stairs in the morning. Each Picture represents one pound...Pictures that I will cross off the board as I knock them out of the park. The poster will also have a thermometer that represents the 40 pounds....
At work all of my colleagues know what is going on, and will be making sure I do not stray. My families and friends are aware, just as they were in Washington....It never hurts to have additional help.
So as I embark on what feels like the 15,000th adventure, I re-start this BLOG with a new title and a new goal...This BLOG Will be that JOURNEY....Welcome Aboard!!!!
and REMEMBER you can still DONATE!!!!
