Today I turned 17 for the third time in 51 years and it all started out pretty great! I weighed in at the lightest I’ve been in 16 months. Happy birthday to me! I only wish that the weight loss was from working out. Unfortunately, last weekend I had an allergy attack from the high pollen count and it left me with a sinus infection. Monday was so horrible that I had to call in sick. I was able to find some antibiotics and all the other medications that go along with having the crud. By Tuesday morning, I was workable, and each day since I have been getting better. The side effect of taking all of that medication is not being that hungry. Yay for me! Good news though. I got that shot in my foot last Friday so it looks like my excuse to not workout is finally about to be a recent history. So after this weekend I\u2019m going to give it a go. A real effort to make the trip back to some semblance of better physical health. Yep! I haven\u2019t quite decided which program I\u2019m going to try but it\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I have some thinking to do, and I don\u2019t want to make the wrong choice and set myself up for failure. I\u2019ll have to start out a bit slower than my mind wants to go. It\u2019s not going to be easy but I have the drive to do it. And since it\u2019s my birthday, I\u2019m going to make my wish. I wish for success. Success for everyone who wants to make a change for the better. Better for themselves. Better for the people they love. And better for the world. In my life I have learned that not much changes over night. In fact real change takes time and hard work. And if I decide to make small incremental changes, the transformation will happen and it will have a much better chance at being successful. So cheers to all of you who want to make a change for the better. I\u2019ll be here struggling with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now I\u2019ll leave you with these birthday song lyrics by The Beatles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say it’s your birthday
Well, it’s my birthday too, yeah
They say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
