Still here....

Well, I'm still here. I'm 50 now. I feel old but still feel good.

Running a 12k in a couple of weeks in Spokane.  It is my soon to be niece's college town that has the race. We decided to do it, because she will be graduating soon, and we thought it would be fun.

Little did I know my knees would start to hurt.

I finished my goal of completing a half marathon, (Go Me!), AND asked deb to may me when I got to the finish line. It was a tough race in the rain, and I was pretty beat up after....

Oh and she said yes. 😁

Back to work....

Workout for a livin.... Workout!

Well, it's been about 5 months and I've lost about 40 pounds.  I'm feeling pretty good, and I ran my first 5k a couple of weeks ago.

Woo Hoo!

Deb's on vacation this week so we took a trip to Ben and Jerry's yesterday, good fun.  All these years living in NH I've only been to VT once, and it was beautiful.  Hoping after we get an RV we'll be able to spend more time in the beautiful state.

More later, busy day!

Monday Monday la la la lalala

Happy Monday to all, but apparently not myself.

I so want to be back to work, I hate being home.  Slowly starting to feel depressed.  I love working, and hope something comes along soon....

Watching tech TV on Google TV today, always a great network

Still going strong....

Its been a little while since I posted, but I thought it would be great to update my progress....

I started this adventure around 265 pounds....  I am now weighing in around 229 and feeling pretty good. :-)

In two weeks I will run my first 5k, which I believe will be more walking than running but it is a start!

Part of me is very excited and another is scared to death.  Hell I hate driving 3 miles, unless it is on a motorcycle.... :-)

Heading to foxborough today for football training camp, should be done

I downloaded the blogger app, so I'll try to be better at updating.  For now, its football time!!!!

In the Beginning.....

I was created.  I started out small, I Grew till I reached 6 feet, 2 inches....

And as I grew up, I stayed proportional.  That is till I became an adult....

When I quit smoking 21 years ago, I was 200 pounds.  A tad overweight for my height, but I still felt pretty good.

As the next few years went on, I grew till I reached 270.  Ugh!  Guess I shouldn't feed my son mac and cheese all the time and eat along side him huh?  :)

A few years back, I dropped down to 225.  This was when my son was playing football, and I coached.  I was running all over the field and keeping pretty busy.

I even had my diabetes pretty well under control, or so I thought.

Football ended, and he took up bass guitar, and I pretty much stopped working out or doing much of anything other than work....

And then back to 260 I went....

NOW, at 260, I take several insulin shots a day to keep my blood sugar in check.  I go to the gym almost every day, either a light workout, walking, or swimming.

The problem I seem to have is my eating...  Just completely uncontrolled hell.

I'm doing this blog to help me keep track and to monitor my horrible eating habits.  Help me realize when I'm crashing down.

I WANT more than anything to get down to 200 again.  To be able to run that 5k, 10k.  To feel alive again!!!!!

So, as the great Laozi once said, (Which I don't believe, because they didn't have MILES back then, but still a great quote), A Journey of a Thousand Miles, Begins with a Single Step......

I am here to take that Single Step.
