Time for a Change

OK, here we go.
I'm 31 years old, I just got married & I'm in arguably the worst shape of my life.
In high school I played every sport under the sun. Fell in love with basketball and cross country running and actually got pretty good too. My best time for a 5k as an 18 year old was 17:49. Last year I ran a 5k and didn't even break 30 minutes. Needless to say my athletic ability has seemed to deteriorate for over a decade now.

... It's time for a change.

About 7 years ago I realized I have low blood sugar and I have been the victim of passing out during long runs or workouts. I know part of this is hereditary because my father and grandfather have suffered through the same situations. I also know that just as big a part is my own health and lifestyle. One I can control and one I cannot.

This blog is going to provide a place for me to vent, post my results and hopefully keep me going until I reach my goals.

For right now I have three for the next three months.
1. To complete the 90 day P90X challenge.
2. To improve my health and stamina.
3. To reduce my weight to 185 (to start)

Not "IF" but "WHEN" this is completed I will post my next set of goals and continue to push myself until I reach those. Come along for the ride will you?
