Turning up the Heat

The weather has really taken a turn for the better - we are starting to see 60 and 70s for our highs. It really helps the running, takes a lot less time to warm the body up. A pretty good week last week, got in a 10 miler in under 2 hours. Weighed in on Saturday and am back down, 239.5 - dropped 5.5 pounds. First time I can remember being uncer 240 in forever......

Need to stay focused all of it longer - once I hit 230, I will set the next goal - not sure what it will be yet. The running and the healthy eating have really helped keep the stress of work in check. We are definantly in a lag until one of the deals hits - this is the part of dealing with large companies that makes you crazy - not enough pipeline, not enough customers, too long of a cycle, you name it and it is part of what we do. However, when you win, you win big and really make a difference for your customer. Stay positive and stay focused.

The girls are doing great - schools have been chosen and the AP exams are under way. After they get there exams done, they can start to enjoy thier last year of high school. What a great time for them.

On a final note, I met with the Mens group we have at church and we all agreed that there seems to be a great deal of negative stuff being presented all the time. Sometimes it feels as though there is nothing you can do. Well, one thing we agreed is that we have to make small differences every day and not try to solve it all at once. I am thinking about starting another blog to just make mention of all the great things people are doing to help other people in this world. WE ALL NEED TO HEAR GOOD NEWS because there is a lot to go around.

We will see how it goes.....
