Still on the wagon.

For the last 5 years, trying to get myself back into a happy medium with my body and inner being has been such a challenge. I am happy to report, since February 17th, I've still been kicking through! 32 pounds gone and still counting. The hardest part in all of this has been telling myself slow and steady wins the race. I'm more of the type who wants everything to happen in an instant. Unfortunately, I'd have to starve myself and take up one of those eating disorders for it to come that quickly. The moral support I've had with my wife, my sister in law and my mother in law has been one of the biggest motivations for me. We are running this race together and none of us have plans to give up. I want to use this blog as a momento of what has passed and what's to come. As you can see, I got on a short lived health kick a few years ago and gave up. I noticed I really never took the classes and exercise seriously because I was way too absorbed with making a joke out of everything I had to do because of my insecurities with myself. Hopefully, I can set a more positive tone, while giving you a giggle here and there. This time I am serious of the outcome, so the jokes that are to come will be genuine and not a "cover up" for what I feel are my failings. Just remember to move at the pace most comfortable to you. Some days will be harder, but keep that end goal in mind and turn to friends and family for support. Happy Health Hunting!
