Hello, DailyStrength friends.
It has been so long since I've been able to engage with all of you, and now that the dust is settling from our recent company changes, I can finally turn my attention back to all of my friends and family on DS.
I have had a very, very trying year...while everyone in my family has been happy and healthy, I gained about 20 pounds (stress eating, i think!), stopped exercising and generally lost track of all of those goals I had been pursuing. I became so stressed out that I felt as if I became completely ADHD (I've never been diagnosed, but focusing became next to impossible) and I think it took a toll on my friendships and ability to enjoy life and engage.
Now, it's time - time to refocus on both you, my friends, and myself. I want to be proud of my physical appearance, my mental state and all that.
I RAN A 10K! This past weekend was the start of the "new" me...I ran this wonderful race (thanks, Dr O) and did 6.2 miles in just under an hour. It felt great.
This is just the beginning for me. I apologize to those of you whom I haven't been there for...I'm back!

Good for you bro. As a personal trainer for the past 5+ years, I understand how hard it is to get back on the train after you fall of for some reason. Stick with it, once you start to see and feel the difference, there will be no stopping you! God Bless and Godspeed
