I've wanted to start a blog for some time to comment on politics, science fiction, art, education, travel, and other areas that interest me. However, this blog, at least for now, has a specific purpose-- to document progress and encourage me, my partner, and all three other readers who might see this and take time to read it, to make some reasonable fitness, diet, and lifestyle goals, and have a successful 2008, as far as food and fitness are concerned.
This is John. (Hello.) I am currently 255 lbs and 5' 10" tall. Not a good combination. I have struggled with weight for years with only short term and intermittent success. Although I have completed several marathons, even at heavy weights, I have to get my eating and exercise (or lack of it) under control. I have specific fitness and diet goals that I will outline in a later post, and I will track my fitness regimen. Hey, so it's not Boing Boing or Daily Kos (both of which are pretty cool.) If I attain my goals by 1 January 2009, this blog will have served its purpose. If someone else has some fitness and diet success from something he or she read here, even better.
We also like to go out to area restaurants. Part of the problem, no doubt, but I believe occasional restaurant outings can be managed without damaging our goals, and can be included in a healthy plan. We may give some reviews of the restaurants as to service, price, food quality, and, of course, how and where we found an enjoyable meal without totally blowing the diet.
We'll track various recipes we prepare at home, include photos and instructions, and encourage (constructive) feedback.
Today walked and jogged for a total of an hour. Jogged 1 10 minute mile during that time. I plan to increase the jogging portion by small increments over time.
Good luck with your own goals and plans.
