Hero I am not!
I know I have done well in the past year. I worked very hard on my weight loss journey. In last few weeks a few people have said that I am their hero, because of what I have done. I know this may sound weird to you but, this is the truth about how I feel when someone says that to me. I am no hero, a hero saves people from burning building, serves in the military, is a cop, or spends there life helping others. I am a just like everyone else who is on a weight loss journey, I struggle with food every single day; I never have a day where I don’t think about eating a chocolate bar or a bag of chips. I wish I could say I never eat that shit any more. But truth be told, I have caved more times than not, and eat that chocolate bar or enjoy a bag of potato chips. As I walk into work every day, I walk past the chocolate bar and potato chips, and say to myself please let me get out of here without buying this crap! Hero I am not!
Last night I came across my old “bucket list”, it was very sad. It only had places I wanted to eat, dishes I want to cook on it. Now that I have changed my life, it has changed big time. Here are my top 12 items
1. Play full contact football.
2. Bungee Jump or sky dive (this is what I want to do when I reach my goal)
3. Learn to drive
4. Play a pickup game of basketball
5. Photograph a beautiful nude woman
6. Ride a horse
7. Eat a Nathan's chilli cheese hot dog ( in new York, and Holly I know this is not in my food plan..in fact it may be all the calories for the day. LOL )
8. Learn to skate
9. Play softball
10. Run a 5k
11. Climb the steps of the Calgary tower
12. Take my shirt off on a hot day and look good
Although they may change in the future, this is what I am going to focus on now.
This month I have challenged myself to do the “hill of Hell” twice without Damir and to Do Ben’s awesome boot camp class twice as well. So far I have done Ben’s Class. It was awesome!! I am doing the hill on Friday and Ben’s Class again on the 28th. If you would like to do Ben’s Class with me on the 28th or the hill next week with me just send me a message.
Hey Brian Shirley and I will be doing the climb for Wilderness next year. Well I know I would like to try it again and see if I can beat my time of 35 minutes to the top. Maybe you would like to go with us? It is Usually the middle of April.
