Day One

I started my ten week plan to lose weight and to get back in shape. I woke up early and was at the gym by 5:35. After a 20 minute cardio session I felt more like a wimp than a STOTAN. I returned to the gym right after work. I put in a solid back and chest workout and added another 10 mins of cardio.

After being disciplined enough to follow the plan on day one, I fell more like a weak lil man, than I do a STOTAN or even just an in shape 30 year old. I also showed a little restraint while eating which is going to be my biggest challenge.

In Search of Balance

While my main goal over the next 10 weeks is to lose weight, get in shape, and have more energy; my real goal is to have a balanced life. To strive to be excellent in all areas of my life. Have a better relationship with my wife, have a better attitude at work, at home, and to push myself out of my comfort zone in all areas of my life. In the past, I've always been able to do one at a time, but then I would let another part of my life suffer. To be considered a true STOTAN, I feel like I have to push my body, soul, and mind to levels that I have never been. My biggest challenge during this 10 week stretch is to improve all areas of my life.

I'll keep you posted....
