The time has come.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been systematically looking at possible wellness revisions for me and now it\u2019s time to put some plans into action.\u00a0 There\u2019s going to be efforts to revise my training regime, alter some eating habits, real attempts to cut out some calories and hopefully lose some of the flab I\u2019ve developed.\u00a0 I\u2019m like Paul Simon\u2019s Al \u2013 \u201cwhy am I soft in the middle now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Empirically I\u2019m almost 23 pounds over my goal weight.\u00a0 In the last two years I\u2019ve packed on over 10 pounds at least.\u00a0 My doctor says I\u2019m still okay on the BMI scale but that the added weight may be taking a toll on my joints in the running.\u00a0 If that\u2019s what I\u2019m worried about, she said, (and I am), then she advised maybe I should cut out wine at dinner and skip desserts now and again to sort it.\u00a0 I\u2019m also trying to cut back on my Diet Coke intake\u2026 and she told me I should have one a week.\u00a0 I thought she was kidding\u2026 then I thought she was trying to check my reflexes\u2026 then I thought she wanted to do a stress test to see if my heart could handle such a shock to the system.\u00a0 Turns out she was serious.\u00a0 One a week?\u00a0 That\u2019s just not going to happen.\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019m going to try and change but I\u2019m still me, ya know?<\/p>\n

Small moves on a daily basis.\u00a0 Cumulatively that\u2019ll make a big change by the end of the summer.\u00a0 That\u2019s my plan.<\/p>\n

The summer of change starts\u2026 now.<\/p>\n

Day 1:<\/p>\n

The first run of June did not go well.\u00a0 Lots of walking and slow, slow, S-L-O-W.\u00a0 But maybe that\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Maybe starting with a faltering setback is a good reminder of why I need to start again and rebuild and take the time to do it right this time.\u00a0 There are no shortcuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
