Getting Back on Track

So, we went through an uber-short period of insanity there, whereby I signed up to “run” the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon, and signed my brother up, too, just for fun. I expect you ALL to visit me at the hospital that afternoon.

This is another goal to motivate me to get in shape. My bowling team has a weight-loss bet going for the season, and our office has implemented a weight-loss challenge that just started. Heath and I have been trying to make it to the gym, and while I’m batting zero on morning jaunts (I am NOT a morning person), after work sessions are going promisingly well.

I’m down about seven pounds from my peak a month or so ago, and am feeling MUCH better than I have in quite a while. I’m trying to find a good website that has a good postable weightloss widget, so if you know of any say the word. I could write one, but that would put me in front of the computer just that much more, which is antithesis to the whole idea. 🙂

On top of that, I rejoined the U.S. Chess Federation, so I’m going to try to spend a little more time exercising that part of my mind. Work still has me relegated to doing PowerPoint, so my body AND mind are turning to mush. Hopefully we can turn it around.

Thanks, by the way, to everyone that’s already been inspirational and supportive!
