Outward Bound
While I wish I was referencing the cool outward bound program that has always intrigued me, but I'm not. I'm talking about my ever expanding waistline! While reflecting back on 2006, I could not help but realize that I'm in the worst shape I have ever been in. The biggest contributing factor besides old age is the plantar fasciitis I developed towards the end of summer. That has practically squashed my running, my primary means of exercising to burn off calories. I guess I'll have to dust the cobwebs off my road bike and substitute cycling for my running. Whatever I do, it is going to be a challenge.
I just set a goal of dropping 30 pounds by June 1, and a total of 45 pounds by November 1 (my birthday). If I can accomplish that, it would be one of the most rewarding things I could achieve as I get ready to enter my golden years :). So far I'm not off to a good start. I dropped five pounds since January 1, and gained 4 back already. Let the fun begin!
