Happy New Year!

Well, New Year's didn't exactly unfold as I'd planned - my wife decided to head down south, so she left at around 6pm. She took our youngest daughter with her, but I've got the three boys for the next week. Hopefully I'll be able to keep them busy enough to stay out of too much trouble.

Steve came over and we watched Predator on the big screen in the basement. Not a traditional New Year's, but it was fun. We've got some planning and work to do - we both signed up for Triple Bypass in July, so that ride's a definite. We're also considering doing a Mtb 100 mile race like Durango or Leadville. Steve will have a tough time making Leadville because of work schedule, so we're thinking of Durango.

I start today at 87.6kg. My goal is 72kg by the end of February. That's 32lbs in 2 months. Time to get busy! I know it's going to be more about managing my diet than anything else.

So, it's a new year. A new beginning. Starting today I get a chance to change everything I want - and the one thing I want to change more than anything else is my weight and fitness. I"m sure my blogs will get a little more light-hearted again over the next year.

Happy New Year to you - and may your new beginning's be successful and fun!
