ONE SIXTY ONE...

Yes, that's the number that greeted me (or rather mocked me) on the scale this morning....

How did it get to that? 

Easy, I have been eating like crap, no time to work out, you name it, I have an excuse for it.

There.  Said it....

Today is the start, the start of my returning back to the person I "like"

I took before pictures (which may NEVER bee seen by the public eye) and re-visited some web sites that I have bookmarked.  The Warrior Diet, Mark's Daily Apple, Weight Watchers and SINS of course (Strong is the new skinny). 

What's left to do today? 

•  measurements
• food plan
• grocery shopping

What are my short term goals for this week:

• Get a couple of work outs in.  My back is still not 100%, but that doesn't preclude me from doing some upper body
• Eat well - basic paleo, lots of protein, start cutting back the excess carbs
• Make a pact with a couple of my co-workers to kick me in the @ss when they see me wasting time that I could be working out.  

I am going to think about a 4 week goal, and an 8 week goal for my next post.  But I know that I want to get back to around 23-25 % body fat (perfect for endurance) and get back to running shorter distances, heck just RUNNING again would be awesome, over the next few months, maybe target a 10K in May, followed by a couple of shorter triathlons in the summer.  

Anyhow, thanks for reading, and if you decide to follow, comments and @ss kicking are always encouraged!
