I have 14 minutes to write a blog this morning. Sure, I would love to take longer, but school starts at 8.

Life is busy!

I am finishing up school this week (still have 3 exams), flying to MN to start a new job next week. In the midst of which, I have trained for my first 1/2 marathon that takes place on the 24th. Then there are the kids, the gym, logging, the Bruins, and helping out around the house and my favorite: date nights with my wife. And I need to get my home office in order!

As I approach the end of my second year of weight loss, I look back and remember having little or no energy in the first year!

The sad part is that I thought I would never feel better and never enjoy looking in the mirror, or being in a family photo. It was a chore to put on my shoes, my back ached most of the time. I felt tired, fat - even gross. One day I made a decision to change, and not long after that I had a heart attack.

If I have done one thing, it's not give up. I have a goal weight which still seems elusive - but I am dedicated to logging no matter what the scale says. I schedule my runs, weight workouts and cross-training just like I do a doctors appointment. Occasionally I reschedule to get a long run on a sunny day, but I don't miss them.

I fit it in!

I am looking forward to the soon coming year 3 where I will make my weight loss goal, I will run a marathon, and I will look back at feeling good last year.

How about you, how do you fit it in?

Thanks for the votes and comments!
