A brief note

Exercise update: I ran my four miles on the treadmill while Hannah was at log-rolling class. It felt ok, but I am anxious to see how my foot feels in the morning. Time will tell I guess

I also have bike commuted this week to work, which is a nice way to add a little activity to the day. I hope it all starts to make a difference. I've been monitoring by blood pressure at work and it is not good. I'm going to work at it for the month and if I don't get it back to normal, I guess it's time to give in and see my doctor. Must lose weight, reduce stress and get caffeine out of my diet.

Nutrition update: Still too much soda, but less. Also, I ate marginally better today. Maybe I'll get serious yet. I had a disastrous weigh in this morning that reflected my behavior over the long weekend. I was back up over 200 pounds for the first time on the new scale. Hopefully it was a pendulum swing and I can get momentum moving the other direction. I'm trying to convince myself that it is life and death, because who knows, it just might be.

Random Musings: I'm still targeting Saturday as D-Day for the Urbanthlon, but the scale today and my BP readings over the last year are giving me a longer term focus. I just need to get healthier, darn it.

Work has been ok, but I'm still overbooked and can't be as effective as I wish I was. I'm trying to get a handle on things and focus on what has impact and meaning for me. No one else is helping me prioritize, so I'll use my own methods. My family has lots of fun stuff planned this year, so I'm looking forward to that too.

And this ends a fairly weak blog entry, but at least I blogged two days in a row. Routine seems to put me in a better place (says the man who feels a need for change:)).
