Changes...

So with the new year, everyone makes some kind of 'New Year's Resolution'.  Quit smoking, drink less, lose weight, eat better, run a marathon, get that tattoo of your ex removed, get to bed before 2AM, etc, etc, etc.  Some of these are global, others are more specific to certain demographics.  I keep it simple, "Have more Aspirations to becoming Healthier and Happier"

This can simplify any resolutions, because when you aspire to something, you don't necessarily have it already.  You simply have a goal of obtaining it, which I believe in my cases to be better than the instant gratification wanted by so many of the "NOW" generation.  Our parents grew up in a time where they had to work hard for what they had.  It was earned, and therefore more appreciated.  I'm sad to say that my generation was handed more things than we probably deserve.  Because we didn't earn it, it wasn't appreciated and sometimes mistreated, abused, or broken.  In all honesty, I have no idea why I'm saying this as it really doesn't have anything to do with this blog.  Guess I'm just 'free-stylin'.

But back to changes and resolutions.... 

So now that we are in the new year, and our tax return as been received, we have purchased a used treadmill from one of Becky's friends.  TreadMills are seen in different ways.  Some call it the door to weight loss, others look at it as another place to hang towels.  I'm all for weight loss, Lord knows I could use to shed a few.  But that is not my goal.  I'm looking at it as a conditioner, to keep my hair silky smooth.  Sorry, bad joke.  I started off walking 2mph for 20 minutes, each day increasing just a bit.  Today, I'm up to 3 mph.  Physical conditioning, to give my body the ability to do more.  As I walk more, and walk faster, the weight loss will come naturally.  Being obsessed over it is a recipe for disaster.  At least that's my opinion.

My goal is to "run" around the lake this year.  Preferably without dying of exhaustion at the end.  5 months and counting...



It will help having a hot tub to soak the sore muscles.  Did I mention that?  Perhaps that will be another blog.

Peace out!  Yo!
