Twitter and Instagram ruined blogging?

So many posts now days are a line or two long. They are a photo with a snarky comment or a MEME that depicts some random stuff that we can relate with or we laugh at so we pass it on to our friends. I like it. I do it. I do it often. It's nothing for me to post a picture of some asshat doing something stupid or a nice vehicle – but I have all but quit my blogging. It comes and goes in spurts, but I almost ALWAYS like writing stuff. Sometimes I get upset that I don't get the likes/+1/retweets I want but that is the narcissist in me. As I get going (again) on a weight loss journey – I have a lot of random thoughts – so – I think I will share some of them – read on if you would like (probably didn't make it here!)

So yeah…. I kicked it off on 1/4. Why would I rush in on 1/1 like everybody else? LOL – no, Monday worked better for me and there was a DietBet starting that day. I said "I can make money and lose weight? Sign me up". I had to lose 4% in a month – I did that – and go through a bunch of hoops to win. It wasn't a big deal and I did win … so that's cool.

All of my efforts are focussed on getting back in shape overall. I am mixing things up, and eager to ride my bicycle more (its sometimes hard to get off my motorcycle and ride a bicycle). I'm gearing up for the Tour de Pink. I'm excited. I've never done a multi-day organized ride. I'm on a "Team" and we have raised a bunch of money (still need more… HINT). The people seem very friendly, we got some nice jerseys coming. Good news – I have a jersey, with pink on it, for every day! That is pretty cool!

I've been running again. I blame my slowness on my weight (probably a real factor) but I also realize I'm 47 now… i'm not 35 and one thing my parents never gave me was athletic ability. I make up for it in my pleasant disposition – especially around the office … LOL.

It's all good. I lost over 12 pounds in a month. I signed up for another DietBet … A transformer, more that meets the eye! I will be trying to lose 10% in 5 months. I think its' 3%, 3%, 2%, 2%, 2%…. so hopefully I can keep my streak alive and make good on this! If I do – I'll buy myself a milkshake and celebrate … and get back to work!

Welcome back to the blog….
