I renamed this blog The Path Forward and in doing so I've set goals for myself on things like fitness and healthy eating. I blog periodically about running, or skating, or new years resolutions. Still...I ask myself, what have I done in the last year?
- Mass - I've managed to reduce my mass a bit - I have gone from that scary number I had never seen before, back to about where I was in 2006 when I started trying to lose weight. So...all told, I've really managed to gain weight and go back to baseline.
- Fitness - I've accomplished a 5 mile run and another rollerblade marathon - those are the goods. In the not so good catagory - I didn't get 12 times in at the Y for at least 4 or 5 months last year. Just 12 times...Oh, I can tell myself I have extenuating circumstances - I belong to two gyms, and I play outdoor sports. But still, golf and softball take time, and are good activities, but they don't help me lose weight or achieve better fitness. Climbing helps, but the 1-2 days a week i do that aren't going to cut it... To sum up - I moderately improved my sedentary lifestyle.

It's frustratingly easy to slip into a sedentary lifestyle. Many years of career-wandering has shown me that we have two workplace options: a sit-down job with all the trimmings but little means to practice a healthy lifestyle, or a manual-labor job that keeps you physically fit but financially lacking (and, often, without much respect from many people who took the first option). Maybe if I keep looking, I'll find my dream job in which this is not the case. (Grumblings from a fellow soul-searcher)
