1 Year in, 100 lbs gone

A couple weeks ago I took the time to re-read all of my blog entries over the last year.  It's amazing now to look back at where I was and think back about it. One thing I want to do is thank several folks who've been very encouraging over the year, my wife especially for her support and willingness to change our routines to accommodate me not to mention the money we've spent of shoes, trackers and gym memberships.  Also I've greatly appreciated the support from the CAD Brethren , you guys have been awesome particularly Zhunzi and Capwilson.  It's great to know you always have someone in your corner.

Short Update

Biggest update for this week is that I did download a couch to 5k app nearly 2 weeks ago.  Of course that is all I did for awhile. I did the first 2 days of the app on Mon & Tue of this past week.  Hope to do day 3 later today or tomorrow.  I'll probably spend 2 weeks on days 2 and 3, it seems to ramp up pretty good on this program.  It's pretty hard, but is going better than I'd have thought. I finished March with a higher step and calorie total than my previous months again.  For April I'll have to average over 16k steps to beat that total.  So far I'm on track, but that level isn't always sustainable, I'm just focused on doing what I can. I'm nearing the year anniversary of documenting my journey, so I'll try to have a more substantial update for my next update. Next committed update 4/27/16
