I started this venture in 2008 as an avenue to talk about a wide variety of topics, but primarily as a SCUBA blog under the name "Musings from the Deep Blue Sea". It's evolved. My renewed interest in health, fitness, and nutrition (at the age of 43) has brought me to where I am today, and this site reflects that. Having said that, my original mission statement hasn't changed...

Our lives are important only because of the impact they have on the lives of others. Making a difference is important. This blog isn't written for you, it's written for me. My way of reviewing my life, and its significance...Of course, given my wide range of interests in life, there will be much variety. Welcome to my life.

A Lifestyle Change, Part One

I was an athletic kid. I played baseball and basketball, ran Cross Country, and competed in Track & Field. I was even selected for the All-City Cross Country team twice.

Continuing my athletic ways as a young adult, I played pickup basketball games, joined various softball teams, played golf, bowled (I know, not really a sport...), and generally stayed active.

Then I got marrried, and the opportunities to play sports were fewer. Next came a baby, and then came 30 pounds...

I graduated High School at 135 pounds, put on a solid 30 pounds over the course of a few years, and stayed at a healthy 165 for a long time (I'm 5'11", in case you were wondering). One day, I woke up, and there I was...40 years old...199 (flabby) pounds...naked...

Something needed to be done. I needed to lose weight. I wanted to look like I did 20 years ago, not like someone who ate the 20 year old me...

Tune in tomorrow, I hear this gets exciting!
