I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

OK.... note to you singles.... Do you have a mom near by? She is always a very willing and happy valentine. I teach school so I really never got out of the 2nd grade mentality of Valentine's Day. It is a fun, cute, day for kids to exchange Valentine's and hopefully give their teacher some chocolate.
My husband is also a teacher, so by Valentine's eve we are pretty heart and valentined out!!! A no fuss take out meal is about all we can muster.

I gave my Valentine a big 85% Cocoa Extra-Dark Chocolate bar. I love that stuff and it's good for you too. I hope she shares it.
