Day #1 of the big Four-Oh
Well, for those of you who know (and/or care), yesterday was my 40th birthday.
Yeah, so what. It's another birthday. I ain't dead, and have no plans for that for at least another 50 years!
I have chosen this point to make some rather fundamental changes in my life.
Recently, I started going to the gym regularly (!) and have found that I *can* get up at 4:30 am on my own, but I actually feel better afterwards.
I'm down about 20lbs from increased exercise and changing a few eating choices.
The biggest thing, however, isn't just that. It's all part of my "No more Wishing, just make it happen" philosophy. I spent the first 40 years of my life wishing for things to happen, now it's time to MAKE them happen.
#1 on my list is my weight. It's not gonna go down on it's own, so I've gotta do it.
#2 on my list is my fitness level. It's not gonna go UP on it's own, so I've gotta do it. (Plus, it'd be REALLY cool to compete in the Scott Firefighter's Challenge, and not make an ass of myself!)
I'm sure that more items will make the list, but these first two are the most vitally important.
Ok, nuff for now.
