Make a Goal

Well, its been a while since I've wrote in this blog. I've recently left a job that required me to work 60+ hours a week. That does not include travel time. As a result, my health suffered. Well, things have changed. I left my ex-employer in February and started my own company, MCTExpert, Inc. I'm now in a position where I can focus on my health, and most importantly my family. I have lost 6 pounds since that day and I'm enjoying it. On my weeks when I am not with a client, I exercise with a new look on fitness. I actually can go to the gym and realize, I have the time to do it right. On the weeks that I am at a clients site, I look for opportunities to exercise.

In 1992, I lost my youthful mid section. I took a job at McDonalds to help pay my way through college. Well, By the end of the summer, I was significantly heavier and my abs were gone. I could have brought my lunch, but they gave us something like $7.00 of free food each day. Hello Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Well, It is 17 years later and I still have the layer of McDonalds fat on my abdomen. It is time to make some serious changes. I'm now going to use this blog not only to pass on the fitness trips that I have learned along the way, but also to provide updates on my personal goals. I once read in a book (forgive me, but I cannot remember which one) that 8 out of 10 Americans have no plan for the future. Only 1 out of 10 actually write there goals down. It is no wonder that so few of us are millionaires. I plan on writing my goals down here.

Goals for 2009:
1 - Lose the belly fat.
2 - Run a trail race.
3 - Run a marathon.
4 - Get below 155 lbs.

Goals for 2010:
1 - Complete the Mt. Mitchel Challenge.
(More to come)
