Dropping Twenty

Four months ago I had the priviledge of having my first doctors physical in about a million years. Everyone enjoys those visits so much right? And yes, I can hear the ladies saying "You don't have anything to complain about at all!". They are probably right.

Regardless, this first physical in a million years didn't go as well as I would have wished. I knew it was coming of course. You can only eat so much crap and work so many hours before it takes a toll.

Well, the doctor told me I needed to "make some changes in my priorities. Exercise more. Eat better. Work less." He told me to drop 40 lbs in two years. See what I mean about it not going exactly as I would have liked?

Four months have passed and I've dropped 20 lbs and I'm pretty happy about it. Honestly it hasn't been all that difficult. I make sure that I am getting exercise at least 3 or 4 times a week. It isn't always easy but I just have to make the time for it to happen. Eating better has been much easier, the hard part there is watching the amount of food I'm scarfing down!

I've also done a much better job of walking away from work. You know, you can't let a job (no matter how much you enjoy it) wreak havoc on the rest of your life. It isn't fair to you or your loved ones. Plus, life is just too short to miss out on the other good stuff. So walk away when you've done enough because the work will still be there tomorrow, no matter how much you get done today.

That's my advice for the day I guess. If some of you reading this and can put any of this to use in your life, I encourage you to do so. You'll be happy that you've made those changes for yourself, as only good can come from them.

Peace out.
