Coaching and Health

When I started this thing ten years ago, I remember that I was about 280 and I could run faster than the most of the JV team and all of the linemen on the varsity team. I used to run with the team after every practice.

Well now I weigh 325 and am in the worst shape of my life. This summer, I used to ride my bike and I dropped down to 312 obs, but that has been long lost since the beginning of the season and starting in a new school teaching two new subjects. It seems like I am too tired all of the time.

Since I started ten years ago, I have gone through four jobs in the private industry, started and completed a masters, did my student teaching taught at three different schools and and moved twice.

I just wish that I would have the discipline to take off a few pounds and get into better shape. The good news is I have cut way back on the alcohol consumption and I eat very healthy. The key is eat less and exercise more, but in a high stress world with high expectations, the little things just seem to get left out. To be honest, when I have free time, I just want to spend it with my family. I wish it were easy, but it has not been.
