It feels appropriate that my latest post is on Groundhog Day 2012 since it feels like the last time I made a post was about this time last year. A lot has happened in the past year- work overwhelmed me, my son started scouts and karate, I went back to the dojo, and my riding suffered. Its all good though since I am now feeling more motivated to take back what I lost in fitness over the past year. As of this morning, I weighed in at 201, a full 16lbs over my lightest weight in 2010 but have gained a good amount of much needed upper body and core strength through Karate.
