Well, the first ten days are done. I can't say they went extremely well, but they for sure could have been worse. The ten days started off really good. I exercised three days in a row, and had a fairly healthy diet. Things were going good. Last Friday, however, I had the great opportunity to travel to San Francisco with some family and friends for the 49ers Monday Night Football game. We left Friday night and made it to Reno, Nevada, before heading to San Fran on Saturday morning. We were gone Friday through Tuesday. As you can imagine, my exercise routine was severely interrupted and my diet suffered even more. I tried to drink water and eat healthy, but that just wasn't going to happen. It was hard being on the road so much. Fast food and gas stations became my mobile kitchen. It wasn't good.
On Wednesday, Marissa and I had the great opportunity to visit the doctor and get an ultrasound. We found out that we're having a boy!
As you can see, the first ten days were a mild success but I mostly had a hard time reaching my goals. One big positive that I've taken from this experience is the small conscience in the back of my head making me feel slightly guilty for not living up to my goals. It's helped to have something to look forward to and a goal to work for. I can tell it's going to be a struggle. Especially because I really need a complete change of attitude and lifestyle. I need a new paradigm on health and diets. I'm excited to keep working on this and hope that things will become easier as I go along. I know it probably wasn't a good idea to start right before the Holidays, but I figured it's easy to keep finding excuses not to start. I can always find some reason to not change. Excuses like "I'll wait for the new year" or "Once school starts, I'll be able to focus more" just weren't good enough anymore. There's always a reason to not do something. I had to find a reason to do it. That's what keeps me going. I have a clear goal in mind. I'm ready to keep rockin' and rollin'. See you in ten days.
