Two More Days....Then I Reclaim My Body

So here is the deal. I have set Monday as my start date to reclaim my body. This means a couple things. First it means I get back to eating better which I have suffered from for a while. Second it means I start cracking down on working out.

I don't look fat at the moment - but I sure as hell feel fat. And feeling fat is not good. I feel sluggish and gross. Of course not running or working out for a couple weeks will do that to a guy.

So I am making a contract with myself, which I will post here. I always feel the blog makes me responsible not only to myself, but to all of you who read it. I am accountable. Believe me when I say this accountability means a lot to me. I take it seriously.

To get me kicked in the butt, I have decided to train for a marathon. Yes...this goes against my plan to not run a marathon this year, but the more I think about it, the more I think I want to do one. I know I am not running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. I will run a smaller(capacity) one.

I find a regimented training schedule helps me a great deal, and I am not always to do it on my own.

So there it is, that is what I am thinking at the moment.

Thoughts?
