Captain's Blog Day 1
Looking at myself today, it is hard to believe that in high school I beat the fitness requirements of the United States Navy. I wanted to join after I graduated and later on become a Captain (hence the name) but I was rejected because I am pigeon toed and have asthma. Since my lifelong dream was crushed I became depressed, ate, and became more sedentary as I focused on my studies. I'm out of college now, and I've realized that just because I like the Navy doesn't mean I have to weigh as much as a ship. Hmm... sounds a bit sad. I'm no though! My uncle who served in the Navy always used to say that losers make excuses, winners make plans. My plan: eat less, move more. Get my Navy body back! Great Plan! Although, John Lennon used to say life happens when we are busy make plans. Life if a challenging thing to work around, so much to do. Then again it is also said that we should eat to live not live to eat (i think the Navy may have rejected me because of ADD: ) Ok... new plan: Stop with the damn quotes!
Orders for day 2: Do a complete, self administered health assessment. Enjoy last day of palatable freedom. Stock Galley with healthy chow. Begin basement conversion to suitable exercise environment.
Now, as they say in the Navy: Full speed ahead!
