The purpose of this blog is to help me track my time line and events I have done to get back in shape even though I am plugged in and working with desktop support. I can say I am not as fit as I use to be and as I get older I can feel it. So it is time to take back my life and get back in shape. I always heard where people say there is a time when you will hit a point and say I remember when.... Well I can say I find myself saying it more then I want to admit. So I have a choice in life be a person saying I remember when or a person that says what do you mean I still do.
The company currently work for is trying to find ways to help the members become a healthier team of people and help make awareness of our health. They are making different offers and personal challenges to help with the awareness. Well this is the time to take a good hard look at myself and make a choice on what I want. I decided to buy into the program with a twist. I wanted also challenge different friends, neighbors, family members and co-workers to do it with me. I have to admit it sounds good and on paper it looks even better. The question is can I not only do it but also keep it going?
With the help of my employer on this program I got a Fitbit One from fitbit.com I did some searching on the app stores in both iFamily and Droid. I was able to get a few apps to help me create a training plan and track it. I already know if I do not track it it will not happen. I have to set goals so I signed up for two different 5K walks with Mercy Health in Sept. I created and invited people to join my team to walk with me. Lucky me some of them took me up on it. I think more to see me do it. I am now looking at another 5k Hike for Hospice. This is a major goal to do all three for me in a short window. But if I can manage it then I can manage the other larger goals I have in my health awareness program.
Like I said this is to help me track my progress and the life of a plugged in IT Support Specialist making a health awareness act.

Today in the local paper there was an article for one of the 5K walks I am working on being part of. This walk has a what looks like a good twist to it. To learn more about the walk and the twist being offered you can read the article here Annual Heart Walk.
