Round is a Shape!

Well, it's time to get in shape.

I've noticed over the past few months that the pants are starting to fit a little tighter around the waist. It's an unfortunate situation as I continuously eat in restaurants (due to the current career).

So, I've made the following changes to my eating habits.

1. Order a salad when it's an option (but I really want the fries).
2. McDonalds is only allowed ONCE a week (but I'd rather it 2-3 times a week).
3. Fries are acceptable when ordering at McDonalds (I can't bring myself to order a salad there).

To top off this new reality, I've "buddied up" with the treadmill at each hotel I visit. I'm happy with the 3 nights a week but want to get to 4 nights a week, walking and running. Slow and steady, then eventually I'll get to the full-on jogging.

I've also started thinking about joining some races this year - potentially a 10 km run and if I'm really determined, another half marathon. No promises though.

Well, here's to good health in 2012.

It's Been Too Long...

Hello old friend. It's been awhile since we last visited.

It's no secret that I've neglected this blog and I almost wish I had a good excuse. The only reason I have is 4 letters. L. I. F. E. Yes, 'life'.

Life has a funny way of moving through time. We instinctively chose our priorities with each new day - determining a new course or path for our careers or personal lives. With each new challenge, and of course, each new day, exhaustion and laziness can be lurking in the darkness or around each corner.

I'd like to promise that I won't be neglecting this blog in the future but promises are just something that can be broken. With that, it's better for me to say that I'll try harder to post some comical stories, some interesting anecdotes and well, simple stories about life.

Cheers,
