Day 1. What is mortality anyway?

4 Comments

Nothing in the world like a child will remind you of your mortality.

I see a child growing at a phenominal pace, and see the massive changes to his little bod over the course of 5 months and realize – the same 5 months happened to me too.

I’m slower than I was at 20.  I’m bigger.  I’m not quite as healthy.

I did manage (woo hoo) to beat tobacco a year and a half ago, but my general bod didn’t return to the form I had at 16.  Go Figure.

So now – I have to get my lumbering post-nicotine snoring ass off the ground and get some pounds off my back (and chest, and gut).

The hour a day walking starts now and the high-fibre, low-fat diet continues but gains rigor.

Day 1 of 30?  Who thought this was just a blogging excercise?

    Good for you Greg! You are doing the right thing as you have a very precious son to look after and be there for him for a very very long time. Good Luck!

    Love Mom

    Yaes…..you do have others to think about now and that’s important because you want to be there for him as he gets older (as well as for Lin). One of the best things that you can do for your little family is get really healthy and shedding those unwanted lbs. is an excellent way to start. Before too long, your little lad will be wanting you to take him on walks, throw a ball (not to mention kicking a ball of course), rough housing etc…..just like you and I used to do. You kicked the weed successfully, now you have to kick a few of those extra pounds as well….. a bit of self-discipline is all that’s required – and you know you can do it.
    Cheers – D&D

    Awesome. I think about similar things as I begin to realize that though the world used to revolve around me, not it revolves around my daughter. I want to make sure I’m in her orbit for a long time.
