I guess you can call it progress

Well just like jay i have gone way south on the running portion of the plan. I havn't run in about two weeks but i still feel pretty damn good about myself. Its not that i am totally lazy i have been pretty busy lately and havnt had much time for running. But i willget back to the gym if not for our group goal then for my own new goal of being in shape so when i finally get a call from a Fire dept. then i wont have to kill myself training and can just go and do it. I have let good career opportunities pass me by before due to my poor fitness and i will not let it happen again.

As far as the smoking goes i am doing better. I am not longer a "full time" smoker and have only been having smokes on occasion. so if i can beat those urges on occasion then i will have this monster beat.

And to the diet or lack there of. I am not one of those people who can diet easily. I LOVE FOOD. but i also am not to worried about it because with fittness comes weightloss and im not too upset with myself and my body it could be worse but it caould also be alot better.

Anyway i am going for my written test for the Milwaukee Fire Dept on tues and we will see what comes of that and then i am off the the wis dell for thurs to sun. and then after that i have no more major plans and maybe i can get myself back on track..

Peace out,
Nick

One Step Foward, Two Steps Back

I've been trying to keep with good habits, but it seems that everything I set to do I just can't keep with it. I haven't ran for over a week now. I have been walking stairs at work but that's not going to cut it.

The smoking has gone horriably off course, and it's time I admit that I can't do it on my own. I have a doctor's appointment set for this Thursday... well actually that's today, to get a perscription for Chantix, a stop smoking aid. Hopefully that will help me on this dirty little journey.

I did take a step foward and joined a gym, so as long as I use it that will be a great asset to me. I hope that this turns out different than all those other times. It seems like it's taking the same downturn but I am determined to not let it.
