High 5 Update #4

It has been a couple weeks since I journaled about this fun journey I am on.  I have hit some great milestones, and there are many more to come.  Yesterday I completed week #5 in the Couch to 5K.  I actually ran for 20 minutes and did 1.5miles in the time (I know that is a slow pace, but I am a pretty big boy).  This is the most I have ran straight in 15 years.  The more I get into this, the more excited I get about running days.  I never thought I would begin to enjoy it, but am very glad I am and hope this is a life long habit.

The other areas:

Weight loss:  I have only lost 5lbs, but have not been focusing enough on this area, and it will be harder during the holidays, but I am going to work on it.  Come January, I am already gearing up to make some drastic life changes in this area to help reach my goal of 50lbs by March 31.

Savings:  Doing pretty good here, on track to reach my goal.

Reading – business:  I have hit my goal of reading a book per month, and in December I plan to read Groundswell as I seek to engage more in social media.

Reading- inspirational:  I have read one book and am about halfway through another – Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  I had heard this guy speak many times over the past year and his message is refreshing and challenging.  The book is an extension of this and I am changing alot about my persepective on why God created me and what my mission is.  More about this in separate blogs forthcoming.

All in all, I feel like I am on track in the areas and look forward to a great month of transforming my life.  I am having a blast!!
