I have started two new blogs, one to follow my running and a Quest to a Marathon at blog.262quest.com and one to follow my weight loss at blog.2big.org, please check them out.
I am an IT professional / Developer which means I sit in front of a computer most of the day. This means very little exercise and plenty of time to eat.
I decided at the first of the year that I was going to lose weight. I started by changing my eating habits and started walking.
I did so for about a month and then added some weight lifting and started to run a little bit.
I have so far lost 29 lbs in just over 3 months and would like to lose just over another 50 lbs by the end of the year.
I have started running quite a bit more and am training to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th (10k)
I need all the encouragement I can get because to do this I am getting up every morning during the week at 4:30 to go running. With a wife and kids this is really the only time that I can consistently do what I need to do.
I am driven, but at times get a bit discouraged because I don't have anybody to work out with or run with.
All in All, I know I can do it, I just have to remember that when I don't do so well, it is in the past and what matters is going forward.

Just wanted to check in and say hello. I haven't given up. Still plugging along. Just trying to keep focused and positive. Starting to make some good choices in the types of food I eat and hopefully it will have a big impact on the scale over these next few months.
I've been following your half marathon blog and you are awesome!!! It's no wonder that you are inspiring so many people to raise their game!!
Your compassion and passion to see others succeed is a real breath of fresh air and its amazing to see your transformation. The change in you as I have observed is phenomenal and it really motivates me!!
What a guy!!
Whoooooo Hooooooo!!!!

My endurance has always been good but my speed has always been very slow. I'm going to start working on that. I want to be mid-pack in the triathlon in October. That's my goal!

Did you seriously lose another 2 lbs? Rock on, Tim!!!
Thanks for the kind comments. It has been interesting doing this in the mission field. The challenge is the lack of gyms, etc that are available all over in the states. The big plus side has been all the fresh veggies, fruit, etc at a great price which makes eating healthy pretty easy.
The thing that amazes me about the body change is that shirts hang straight down now. Still kinda surprises me!

Hasta la Vesta, Baby!

Check them out and let me know what you think. The first post is big on both of them because it is a bit of background information. The subsequent posts will be somewhat smaller.... well, you guys know me..... hopefully they will stay a bit smaller. :)
Check em out, let your friends know, link to me, subscribe, leave feedback, stumble me, del.icio.us me, etc. All would be appreciated!
