Since our last episode...
The interview - it turned into a job - and it's great. A whole new field for me, but I can draw on much of my past sales/business development experience. Been here a little over a year and it's going quite well.
But.......the new job has me on the road. Eating discipline went out the window, weight slowly crept back on. I gained almost 30 pounds, gettting me (almost) back to my highest weight ever. And my fat man pants! As a result of that, cholesterol went back up and now I am on medication.
Once I got sick and tired of looking and feeling this way, I started taking action and so far have dropped almost 10 pounds. One of the things I've done is gotten back to running. I'll never consider myself a runner, but tommorrow morning I'm signed up to participate in a 5 mile run. (I did one in training last week, but until tommorrow I won't consider it to be "real")
But why am I blogging again ?
I would say it is a combination of things.
- The 5 miler is really presenting itself as a breakthrough moment for me. I haven't said that out loud to many people, but in my head it is huge.
- I've been reading a variety of other blogs on struggles and accomplishments plus some on other fun topics.
- There are 100 days left in this year. I like the idea of 100 day challenges - like you'll see in previous posts.
- Seth Godin has updated a Zig Ziglar goal setting system. I love both of them and have started using the system. For some reason I can't post a link here, but go to Amazon and enter "Pick Four Godin" it will come up.
- Sometimes it just helps to put things in writing (typing) kind of a "brain download"
Not sure if anyone will read this. Not sure how often I will post. But I'm back and trying again.

Just remember, your body had a long time to get to where it is, and it will take time to get it where you want it to be. Focus on being healthy rather than a weight or size. If you're eating healthily and exercising, the weight and pant size that you want will come. Good luck on your run. The best thing about running is, it's all about your personal achievement. It doesn't matter how fast or how far anyone else runs. Just keep setting goals for yourself-then make them happen.
