Over the run of the Get Fit Challenge, I have really enjoyed getting to hear about everyone's fitness goals, weight loss goals, and the trials and tribulations along the road. I've lost 10 pounds (and counting) and improved my own fitness tremendously since January.
But... I think this is going to have to be the end, unless someone else wants to step up and post some of the (normally) Saturday check-in diaries.
It's time for me to face the music in my own life. Working on losing some weight (and gaining some fitness) has improved my self-confidence. I need that self-confidence to tackle the elephant in the room: my unfinished doctoral dissertation.
I won't tell you how long it's been sitting around, but we're getting to shit hitting fan stage, and I need to focus. For the sake of my career, for the sake of my sanity, I need to get this off my plate. Unfortunately, this means divesting myself from as many non-dissertation (or non-family) commitments as I can. I still need to spend time with my kids, I need to honor my volunteer commitments in real life. The running has to happen (or I'll lose my marbles), and the weeding (well, some of it) has to get done. But unless something contributes directly to diss, sanity, or family, I need to cut it out.
Anyone willing to cycle in with me? I'd keep going if I weren't the sole diarist. Any thoughts? And of course, how are you doing? Time for a check-in on your weight and fitness. And tell me how you've dealt with your big rocks.
