Back to Life....

New Years resolutions, life changing events, high school reunions, all good and valid reasons to lose those extra pounds. There are all sorts of special dates that say we are going to start. I was thinking today about upcoming celebration and what it represents. Many people have there ideas and thoughts about Easter. I think I am going to use it for a re-birth for myself. I know I have been talking for the better part of a year about losing some weight.

Tonight I had a thought, and I think its a good one... here it is. You know how sometimes when you are sitting on the couch watching your favorite show or just watching nothing? and the thought comes to you - 'Man ice cream sounds good', or 'I could really go for some chocolate' and my favorite 'MMM Mighty Fine is only 12 miles away...' What do you usually do? I personally go for it, what ever the craving thus my very large self. Well tonight I noticed my self thinking I should get up and go for skate... Then I started reflecting, this actually happens lots, I remember thinking 'I should get up and go for a walk' or 'I should get up and go to the gym'. Now if I got up and reacted the same as I do with the ice cream or Mighty Fine I would be much thinner... So I am resolving to do that. I will reverse the urges. When the ice cream urge hits, sit. When the walk move urge hits act... simple. RIGHT.

Larry bearing the sweet ride, watching Eric and his boys skate and most of all watching Benson turn into quite and Athlete has really made me want to do better.

I am committed to start over. I have renamed the blog and look forward to this new process.
