Test of first post

It is time to make some changes. I am tired of being fat and all that being fat means. The purpose of my blog is to track my pursuit of self improvement. I hope the blog will help keep me accountable. My biggest focus is losing fat and increasing fitness but there are other areas of improvement which may also crop up here.

Today I bought fresh fruits and vegetables so that I can incorporate more of them into my diet. I've been reading about "flexitarian" eating; not entirely vegetarian, but a focus on increasing vegetable and fruit intake. I'm thinking that incremental changes are going to be the key for me. I don't want to go on a diet and I don't want to need to lose 80 pounds again, ever.

This afternoon Catherine and I went for a 25 minute walk. We walk up and down the long driveway. It was probably something over a mile and a quarter. It is shocking how much I feel that walk, but it is a beginning.

  1. Okay, a walk every day - I'm in! I would like to be considered for joining in on the flexitarian thing too, okay?
