What is this blog about?

What is this blog about? It started as a sort of journal about the journey I thought I was taking - one of weight loss. You see, my wife inspired me to finally change my ways, get off the couch and start working on being healthy. I'm selling it short, but that's the gist of it. In any case, the efforts I made to lose weight resulted in developing a love for fitness, and I've decided to carry on with it.

Here at last is my story. . .

Aches and Pains (-2#)

Another week, down another 2.  Good news there!  I'm really starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and get impatient for it.  I also really need to buckle down and start thinking of an end-game plan for maintaining once I get where I'm going.  I at least need a "what next" scenario.  I think staying motivated and interested is going to be key in maintaining (or improving!) on what I have (or will have anyway) accomplished.

One thing concerns me though, and that's my legs.  I've always been prone to knee problems - my whole family is.  These knee issues can really hamper me here on the last leg of this journey.  I *need* to spend more time stretching after my workouts to help ensure cleaner healing.  I wonder if there's anything else I can do to help reduce or even eliminate these kinds of things.  I think most athletes go through something like this.  I'm not claiming to be an athlete, but I imagine the principal is the same.  I just don't want to reduce the stress i'm putting on my legs right now, because I will definitely need them to finish this thing.
