Its time

Were do I start?
June of 2007 is basically when I had my wake up call my weight at a all time high 330lb. my marriage in trouble, depressed with myself and what I let myself become. I would get up in the morning go to work come home & sit on the couch watching TV, letting my life & my marriage go buy the way side. I truly Love my wife & son it took my wife letting me know I would be alone if I didn't wake up, she was right. I came home & started to get my life & marriage together. My wife had started competing in triathlons & doing 5k runs so I started doing 5k runs with her. My first race was in august 2007 I just about couldn't finish I was waiting on the buzzards to start circling me but I did finish in 58min. If I would have stayed on the same road I was travelling before now I would not be married & probably 400+ pounds buy now. The last 5k I did I finished in 43 min I know that's slow as hell but I'm at leased making moves to get better & that dam Buzzard is still circling but I will beat him. I'm in a better place now its still a up & down battle but I'm here for the long haul. I got back in a funk after the hurricanes this year but since Christmas Ive been back on track, That's enough pissing & moaning for now.

My wife gave me a Polar heart rate monitor for Christmas & I love it. Its very motivational to see how many calories you burn during work outs & I find it helps me set goals for the next week.

12/29 thru 1/4
4 work outs total time 4:08
total calories burned 2830
total miles walked 6.3 + cardio work outs

1/5 thru 1/11
7 work outs total time 6:19
total calories burned 3678
total miles walked 18.7 + 1 cardio work out

1/12 thru 1/18
goal is 20 miles walked
4000 calories burned
bike for 16 miles
