Day 2--What is this pain called...hunger?

Yet another busy day here at Fitness Ridge. My belly made some pretty funny noises during the hike this morning and caused me to wonder...when was the last time I had a hunger pain? Seriously, I can't honestly remember. However, I can name many a time that I decided to eat something because, I might get hungry?


I made a "fat joke" in one of my classes today. By the reaction I received, you would have thought I was the first one to let them know they had weight issues. So, I could tell right away by the looks of disgust and offense I would not be welcomed amongst the crying, blame your daddy "popular" group. But, as the room cleared, a few of "my own" people gathered around me for a good laugh. They're all good people, mainly business owners and sales execs with a good sense of humor, a common sense--reality based understanding of our "issue" and, a bit irreverent...I feel comfortable amongst my new friends. We get, we ate a bunch of crap for a long time and now we're paying the price. We also get, that with education, a plan and a good work ethic...we can get this fixed. In fact, in two days if I can take a common theme from lectures thus far...it's simply calories in and calories out and, the quality of the calories do matter.

Photo of the day--I figured if I'm going to be a runner, by dang I should look like one. I was not able to tie my own shoes yet so had to wear my sandals.
