New Blog

On my wife's suggestion, we decided we needed a way to report on our progress with our weight lose/get in shape goals to help promote better accountability on our part and hopefully to serve as an inspiration to those we know.

The new blog is Healthy Happiness. In it we're going to post info about our progress, write mini-howto's to help others get started, link to some great resources we've found, and comment about how we're dealing with the challenges of loosing weight and keeping it off. From others, we'd ask for more advice, encouragement, and reports on your own progress if you decide to follow along.

Come get fit with us and let's all get a little happily healthier together.

New Leaf

The last few days have been both exciting and unnerving. Next week I will begin the process of transitioning to another new job (yes, that's right - same company, new position) and I have been overly happy about it. In a lot of ways, my life was perfect from my point of view. Alas, perfection is not permanent in this life. ;) Now, I'm moving to a new area at AA, the thrust reverser shop. I took the job at AA over others because it was working with engines. Now, I won't be and I'm a little stuck there cause we have the new house. I have been promised by my boss that after "some time, maybe a year" if I'm really miserable, a swap back can be arranged, but that they really need someone out there now. I guess.

The other component of my life that has changed and kept me excited is my new efforts to loose weight and get in shape. I've been inspired by my bro-in-law Jarom and my sister Allie - both have had considerable success loosing and keeping weight off by, in essence, "counting calories". I hope to do the same and start a simple exercise routing to help me get back to my "engagement" weight. And the best part of all is that Stacie's committing to do it as well.
