I will be adding to this list as my journey goes on but here is a first crack at the list of things I want to do or will enjoy doing as I slim down and get fit...
- Go snowboarding with my family (hope I don't break a leg)
- Buying nice clothes for decent prices (big clothes are freakin expensive)
- Go for a long bike ride (this should be safe)
- Not having to worry if a chair will hold me (those damn plastic lawn chairs)
- Standing up out of a chair easily (what a joy that will be)
- Running a 5K with my wife (we'll have to see how the knees are)
- Working out with my kids (they can't wait)
- Putting my socks on like a normal person (major process)
- Tying my shoes without straining (also a major process)
- Having a pair of shoes that aren't turned over on the sides (weight distribution)
- Not having to take stair a step at a time (i hate that)
- Fielding a ground ball (love baseball, can't bend over now)
- Swinging a baseball bat (less girth, more movement)
- Playing golf again (was a 12 handicap once, haven't played in 3 years)
- Playing tennis with wife (we use to play, she'll probably kick my ass now)
- Traveling on a plane without bringing my seat belt extender (what a thrill)
- Enjoy being healthier and fit overall (speaks for itself)
- Celebrating when I reach my goal weight (not with food)
- Answering the "Have you lost weight?" question (that will be fun)
- Maintain control over my relationship with food (priority one)
I have a lot to do.
