Commitment ...

The wonderful woman who started the Operation: Cooking for Soldier On (OCFSO) (http://www.operationcookingforsoldieron.com/)  fundraiser threw a comment out about all the regional reps doing the Army Run (http://www.armyrun.ca/en/default.aspx)   in September.  I have been thinking about it since her comment, and finally committed last night "out loud" to her and a few others.  To the 5K one, not the 1/2 marathon!

I am totally not a runner, but I did download the Couch to 5K program, and completed my first work out this morning (5 min warm up, intervals of 1 min of running and 1.5 min of walking for 20 mins, then 5 min of cool down).  I worked up a heck of a sweat, felt pretty good after.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Through the magic of Wii Fit, I have discovered that I have also lost some weight.  Not much, and I am still a ways away from where I would like to be. Maybe now that I don't need a deployment ticker on the bottom here, I will add a weight loss one :o)  For the record, I would like to be about 150 lbs, and am currently sitting about 195.  The weight is a measure; I would like to be healthy, and fit better into my clothes (or even better, into new, smaller clothes!).  I really need to work on my cardio fitness.

SO, in addition to the other randomness you see here, you will also, hopefully, be getting fitness and weight loss updates.
