I have been thinking and really have wanted to do this for some time.

But when I get into shape I would love to become a volunteer firefighter. So that is one more thing to keep me motivated. I guess I've always had respect for people who volunteer their time to the community, so not only do I plan on bettering myself I want to help out the community with what I have accomplished.

That is very good motivation, seeing as you need to be in top physical shape to do that. For me, feeling good (on rest days lol) makes me keep working out. I can run faster, lift more things, and just feel good overall because my journey has me eating healthy foods which make me feel great.

I mean right now I feel good on rest days and all that, its just a big personal goal for myself.

Right on, Ara. My brother does the same, though with forest-fire fighting.

I like the way you think, all the best with the way you DO.

Thanks Minu!

I like your style Ara. That is a great plan, and I can see how it will keep you motivated.

The world needs more people like you

Ha, my g/f and parents would disagree with you Dean but I appreciate it
