Well.  One week to go and I think I am ready.  I managed to get out on my bike yesterday and went for about an hour and a half.... and I did the short bike course  here in Auburn NY for the Great Race.  The Race itself is not until next Sunday, the 8th; I wanted to make sure I could do it.

I feel bad that I haven't had the motivation to post anything on here in a while.... I have been super busy this past spring, and also taking some time for myself... I have no current idea on how far over 200 pounds I am as I haven't been keeping track of my weight for the past 3 weeks while on a couple of vacations.

        For the past several years, I have been searching for a way to keep up with the grocery list.. you know, that item that everyone talks about, and usually forgets on the trip to the store....or forgets an item that we need from the store because we forgot to write it on the list...

Here it is over halfway through January 2010, and wishing all of you a Happy New Year!

    So, with 2010 here,  I guess it's time to refect on how I did in 2009...

       First the bad news.  I started 2009 at 203 pounds, gained 6 in December alone and am now currently at 206 pounds, 3 of which I added in December.  I got two doctors opinions that stated that I should be at 175 pounds to be healthy.  For those of you that know me, that means me at about the size of a toothpick soaking wet.

So... I managed to survive and even finished a race!

The Seneca Falls It's A Wonderful Run was my first 5K ever and a few things that I learned along the way...

1- It was cold.  Do not wear shorts, it is not recommended when running.  Just looking at the amount of runners that were in shorts running was scary.

    Jason, Angus and I had been talking about the Seneca Falls inaugural "It's a Wonderful Run" for a while and running or walking in it... http://itsawonderfulrun5k.com/ and today is the day that I am going over there and participating...

      I just discovered something tonight... I can go through 10 beers in two and a half minutes!

      For those of you that know me, no I don't mean the alcoholic kind; that kind of heavy drinking would get me so sleepy drunk I would wind up waking up in the Catskill Mountains someplace 20 years down the road.  I found something better!

    Wow..Halloween already.. with all the candy, and chocolate, and ... well you get the drift.

            Ok,  so I admit, I've been slacking a bit on this forum.  It's hard for me to come up with some content after sitting at my computer  talking to clients the last thing that I want to do is work on a computer at the end of the day.  It's hard trying to fit in the time and the motivation to excersise, we have all been there.
