I'm Fat

I had the unique pleasure of going out at 4:30 AM and getting my health assessment and meet with my personal trainer.

My workplace is big on employee health.  It was something that I had been putting off for a long time, but since my ankle has healed, I was out of excuses.

What did I learn? -- I'm fat!!

A shocking revelation.

The scary thing was how bad my overall health had deteriorated since I have moved back to the Midwest.  What is it about the Midwest that adds an additional 30 to 40 pounds to the middle of everyone's waist?

Well, the good news is that I can only improve on my health.  I'm going to be hitting the gym 3 times a week.

I seem more and more kids who are overweight.  I don't want that life for my daughter.  My hope is that by setting a good example now while she is in her formative years that I will help her to develop life long habits that will be worth more to her than any piece of financial or educational advice.

Maybe all of us should think about doing this for our kids or someone special to us.

We can only improve.
