Out of Shape and Out of Order

Time to get back to business. I'm out of shape and I feel terrible. I never take time to excercise. I have picked up some very bad eating habits along the way and a health screening report from my work tells me that I should do something about it. Anyway, this should be quite a challenge to get things back in order. I currently weigh 194.5 and I should be around 175. But more than the number, I really need a lifestyle change in order to get back to good health habits.

Honestly though, there is more going on than just health issues, I need to change more than just that. I need some mental excercise as well. I have gotten lazy there as well. There is so much to think about and so much to do. I would like to pray every morning in order to help me think clearly and make sure I am on track for the day. Organize my days and get things done.

Current things on my plate. Kids have swimming lessons from March to May, I have to plan for that. My in-laws will be here from April to August, I need to plan for that. At work, I have a number of tasks to organize, in order to accomplish as much as I can there so others can continue to make progress. Finally, I need to make a concerted effort to study Java so I can get a Java programming certification (the hardest certification in all of IT I am told)

To start, all this off, I am going to take a quick 2 mile jog.... and when I return, I need to... take out the garbage, make a post on Craigslist for our daycare, then I need to log into work to see if I can get a jumpstart on a few things there, drive my daughter to school, then head over to the office.

Have a great day me! Have a great day you!

P.S. I will have to measure success somehow and I think the way I will do it is that if by this summer I will have A) Be able to head to the beach with less concern because my kids have improved their ability to swim. B) My in-laws are enjoying their summer here --- or at least have things they can do and enjoy while here C) Completed my Java Certification D) Organized my home office so that both my wife's business and my own Papers are in order ie/mom's books are in order/our finances are in order/our taxes are done.
