And Plug My New Project
I put up a couple of posts here, and then got distracted by my DadMetrics blog, and by twitter, and etc. etc. etc. I’ve decided it’s time to start utilizing this again, along with my DadMetrics blog, AND a new thing I’m working on, that I call Fit For 50. In one day I’ll have made 48 trips around our sun, and like all too many people in the US, I need to lose some weight. A fair bit really, for numerous reasons. I’ll cover that more on that blog, but needless to say, I decided I’d put the journey to being fit online, as a way of sharing information, knowledge, experiences, and anything else that might be useful to someone someday that stumbles upon it.
My goal is to hit my target weight, sizes, and capability by my 50th birthday. Given that 2024 is a leap year, that means I’ll have 731 days to get there. Should definitely be doable, but the effort is of course still necessary. I want to try to track on there:
- My weight as it’s going down – motivation
- The exercising that I’m doing (not random little things, but structured stuff) – helps keep me on track
- The foods I’m eating – who knows, my cooking might be more interesting than the weight loss
- Any other things I’m doing to help with gaining fitness
- a countdown to the target day
I’m excited to begin this journey, and I’m pretty sure I have enough of the tools and ‘stuff’ at hand to make it happen. We’ve got a home ‘gym’ built into half of the garage, next to my ‘den’, also in the garage, and I already cook most nights, so it simply becomes about cooking and eating better, AND putting in the sweat and effort in the gym.
As for the rest of this blog, this is where I’ll share stuff about family outings, and our kids, etc. We just spent a week at Sunriver, for example. I’ll try to put up some pics and share some of that trip this weekend hopefully.
Thanks for reading!
