A Few Less Bites

Since moving to Bakersfield, I've packed on a few extra pounds...then lost those few extra pounds...then packed on a few more, and a few more over these holidays. I've really got to make use of all the outdoor sports available here in Bakersfield. Running my own appraisal business really takes up a lot of my free time. I frequently work on the weekends and late into the night. Something has to change in order to get in shape.

I'm a member of the local Bakersfield Elks and they have a gym. I'd love to make use of the racquetball court there, so I'll need to just schedule time to go to the court. I've got equipment at home that I need to use for exercise rather than for shelf space. There is a great bike trail - I think 22 miles - along the Kern River that I can use for riding, running, and walking.

Since we are right in the middle of the holidays, I doubt I'll have time to get this all organized until after the first of the year, but I need to start scheduling the time to set aside for exercise and for setting up the equipment. I'll also need to take a look at my eating habits...after the holidays of course.

I'll start posting on this topic at least on a weekly basis to track my progress. Today, I weighed in at 203.5, dry. I should be 180 unless I pack on some muscle.
