Next year I turn 50. I sounds so old. If I am lucky, I’ll get maybe 30 years? Less, being an obese man.

On one level it seems like so little time. I’m maybe two thirds done with my life. But, it could be filled with so much possibility.

I’ve grown and changed so much over the last 30 years. I’m a better person then I was then. Twenty year old Kevin never thought he would be married. Or have a child. The last thirty years have been better than I would have guessed. So I am hoping the next thirty will be better still.

The only way to be better is to try to make it better. I can’t tell what the universe has in store. But, I can commit to growth and change.

In 60 weeks I will be 50 years old.

I want to be healthier.  I don’t want to be obese.  I want to be strong.

So, 60 weeks.  In my head, I am thinking of 10 week blocks.

First block, start exercising, meditating, counting calories, and journaling.

Exercise

I’m trying burpees.  Specifically, this program. I would spend more time driving to the gym each week.  And I still can’t make it a full twenty minutes. So this is a good start.

Meditating

I downloaded two meditation apps.  Waking Up and the Insight Timer.

Counting Calories

I have the lose it app.  Everything I read says this is vital to do. My eating focus will be the MIND diet.

Journaling

This is more about self reflection.  I was eating and I realized I was eating and angry at my spouse. I need a way to reflect on this. 

So that is the first plan.  I’ll give it an update in 10 weeks.
