healthy, wealthy, and wise

this post was actually for yesterday, but i worked out with a personal training and he kicked my ass.

i went for a physical yesterday.  they took blood, and basically just looked and listened.  i won't know about my cholesteral and all that good(bad) stuff for a few days but it was long over due.  i started going to the gym a couple of weeks ago. i am 44 and in the worst shape of my life.  if i don't get control of it now, i never will.  i cannot believe i let myself get this far gone.  but when you have a partner who is complacent, it's easy to do.  now we are both working out. 

my goal is to get back down to my "fat weight" from when the boy was little, oh some 20 years ago.  that is 30 pounds.  my long term goal is 40 pounds but i am optimistic I can do the 30 and keep it off.  i am changing my lifestyle, not just going on a yo-yo diet.

i have decided that my path in life is the one i choose.  finally, i am going to start a journey that i set for myself a long time ago.  it will take many years to get there, but baby steps.  i am sure that along the way of my journey I will become wealthy.  i don't mean amass large sums of money, but I will amass love and memories.  I want to hand out some of that too.

i believe that on my journey i will gain more knowledge than i could possibly fathom, just by observing, seeing new places, and loving.

my journey is my bucket list. i will list all the things on my bucket list later, but the places i want to see and things i want to do will lead me to a much fulfilled life in the end.
