Choices!

Walter & TheFatGuy after a 5 mile bridge run

We all make choices in life and we make them every day. Our lives are filled with choices like:

  • What do I wear today?
  • What toothpaste do I use?
  • Who do I date?
  • What school to attend?
  • and more……….

Choices have a LOT to do with the success or failure I have had and am having on my journey. Important choices I make every day include:

Am I TOO OLD?

TOO OLD! Are you talking to ME!?

Am I TOO OLD? TheFatGuy of 2009 might say yes. I am too old and too tired to do anything significant in life. The answer from TheFitGuy would be NO, I am working on my health and fitness with life getting better each day. TheBEAST would say, "HELL NO! Are you calling ME OLD!?" I am a BEAST, I will be 56 this month and I am as young as I have ever felt!
 

WOW!

We all deserve to be Wowed at least once each day. A WOW moment can make or break a day. I have had many WOW moments in my life and loved them all.

What am I running from and what am I running toward?

TheFatGuy knows what he is running toward

TheFatGuy has been thinking about this question lately, 'What am I running from and what am I running toward?'  I guess since I have started actually running with my brother, Walter, recently it has come to the front of my mind. My journey is an endless marathon of sorts. It takes on different looks at different times. I felt I had to write about this feeling of 'running from and running toward things'. I needed to write it to make some sense of it. You may be able to help me here so let me know your thoughts about this post.

You are not a little guy, are you?

Every Reason to Change

I had to see a neurosurgeon from 2006 to 2008. On my first visit to see him he walked into the room with my wife, Polly, and the first words out of his mouth were, "you're not a little guy, are you?"  After he spend a few moments with me, he stepped out to check something. I said to Polly, "that first statement he said did not take a brain surgeon to figure out!" I was somewhere over 330 pounds at the time. I was suffering from neck and shoulder pain with some loss of feeling in my left shoulder and arm.

Committed to The BEAST!

TheFatGuy TheFitGuy TheBEAST

On April 5th, TheFatGuy did a post titled From FATGUY to FITGUY to BEAST! He talked about his journey to becoming TheBEAST! Now he is definitely Committed to TheBEAST!
Why do I say TheFatGuy is Committed to TheBEAST? I am pretty sure TheFatGuy is committed to TheBEAST and Beast Mode when he Tattoos

Friends!

TheFatGuy has Friends through Thick and Thin

Good Thursday to ALL! I took a week and a half off from blogging to be with Polly, during her spring break, complete our taxes, travel to Pickens to do some 'chores' at my mother-in-laws house, and end up with 3 close friends in Asheville early this week. It was a good change in routine for TheFatGuy and a productive 10 days with family and friends.
