I went to the hospital today to check on a friend. While I was there, another friend, who I had not seen in many, many months walked up and said… “You’ve lost weight!” Awesome! This is the FIRST time anyone has noticed that I’ve lost a few pounds. Finally! Now I have even MORE motivation to get up, get active, and get fit. Weigh-In Tomorrow Morning!!!
I have been EXTREMELY busy with “real life”. I cannot remember the last time that I took a day “off”. My job is pretty cool, allowing me a lot of schedule flexibility, but I have had “something” to do every day for the past 2 months. So, yesterday, I took some “me time” and went to play golf with a couple of my good friends. Now, there was a time when I was able to play golf once or twice a week. But, those days are LONG gone. First, golf is expensive and I am trying to save money. (Want to know how much I’m trying to save?) Second, I have two kids, a wife, 5 web sites, a ‘real’ job, and many, many other responsibilities. But, my buddies called me up, wanted to play golf, so we went. Mind you, I have not been to a golf course in about 4 months! So, I assumed I would stink. Guess what? I rocked! We played 36 holes, I shot a 76 and an 80. Not bad for a dude who hasn’t played since November. Plus, I felt HEALTHY. I wasn’t obsessed about my “gut”. My shorts and shirt fit well, and I was able to just step up to the ball and SWING!!! Days like yesterday provide motivation for making healthy choices!

(I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for a bit, and I feel a little better.)
