What do you dare???

On my way home today I stopped by a rest area on the highway and took a picture of a monument that states: "We dare defend our rights." The sun was behind me, so there was no way that I could take the picture without my shadow in the picture. I boldly centered myself in the picture... and "snap!"

In looking at the picture, I saw something that I don't usually see when I look in the mirror... and that is - how far my spare tire extends over my waist. Wow... I'm fat.

So... what do I dare?

I dare to buck the trend of being in one of the fattest states... I'm all into eating healthy... exercising... getting fit. 

I have my life in line... my blog helped with that. Now? I have to get my health in line.

Here's to my battle of the bulge!

On small step for man...

Lately, life seems to be a  little too "one step forward, to steps back" for me.

Not in the sense that there's anything wrong with married life. I have married the most incredible woman on the planet. There is so much love, respect, and cooperation abounding that it makes my first 16 year marriage seem like it was run by a bunch of 5th graders with a limited trust fund - recklessly dysfunctional.

It's all the other things that are messing with my 2011 action plan.

I'm still trying to manage life in 3 different cities... this causes havoc in my monetary and dietary goals.

Honestly, my diet has been LOUSY for the last 3 weeks... I admit it, part of it is completely stress related.

So... what am I going to do about this?

Discipline.

I need to get back to a disciplined lifestyle.

So let it be.
