And we're back......

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.
