Weight: 214.5, Time spent exercising: 55 mins, Calories consumed (approx): 1846
I think this is my third or fourth attempt at creating a blog. In many ways, that's a fitting introduction to why I'm starting this whole project. It occurs to me that my life, marriage, child, career, and general outlook are great.
And yet...
I have a bad habit of not sticking with opportunities to improve myself. Much like a blog, I start off great and then lose interest. The fact is that in spite of all of the good things that I'm doing, I'm not improving. I'm pretty sure my wife, daughter and career deserve more. As such, I've decided to embark upon a mission of self-improvement. Simply put my goals are:
Improve my physical condition:
- Lose 35 pounds (get to 180lbs)
- Exercise DAILY for at least 45 minutes
- Eat fewer calories than I need to lose two pounds per week
Spend my time more productively
- Read for at least 20 minutes per day
- Pray/Reflect for at least 20 minutes per day
- Spend at least 30 minutes playing with my daughter (aka "E")
- Post to this blog daily
Serve my organization more effectively
- Identify one thing that I can help improve per week and improve it
- Set a goal for the month and meet it
Well, there it is. My first baby steps towards improvement. I can't guarantee any insights. This whole thing started with trying to lose weight, and has turned into something entirely different. Hopefully, it helps me to reflect, to get healthier and to center myself. If not, it's still not a bad thing to actually stick with something.
