The thing for me is I get addicted with it, I obsess over running and biking once I start, I love it that much. At one point a little over a year ago I would bike 4 days a week, run 5 days a week, and swim 3 days. It got to where if it was less than a 8 mile run I would not even want to go. Now, well it is a different story.... That walk to the coffee maker just does not cut it. That is changing, my wife laughs because she says I just flip a switch and I change my lifestyle, the switch was flipped yesterday. Thanks for the comment, it was spot on!!! @Eric

It's all too easy to sit at the computer for hours and not get any exercise. I used to be in shape (a few years ago) but went through a long spell of living an unhealthy lifestyle (not eating the right types/amounts of food, lack of exercise). I recently started changing all that and noticed a huge difference in the way I feel and function. I've cut out refined sugar, trans fats, began eating a lot of veggies, and increased my omega 3 intake. I now exercise 5 times a week, doing both cardio and weights. What a difference it makes! The hardest part for me was getting started. Best wishes, Eric Bruce, I agree 100% with your post. It’s all too easy to sit at the computer for hours and not get any exercise.

In the past I have always managed to but this year I knew I had to be heads down hard on the business to make sure it took off the way we wanted so I let myself go in other areas. As far as training and eating, the funny part is I know exactly what to do, and by exactly let me explain, I actually kept spreadsheets of my training programs during my run up to my marathon and tri events showing how many miles biked, ran or swam each week, estimated calorie burn, wattage estimates, etc. Same thing on the eating side, I am obsessed with eating right when training. Great comment Leonard. Many people overlook the mental/brain side of working out and eating right as well, it has a huge impact on cognitive function overtime. Read Brain Rules, great read and shows this quite well. You are correct, balancing is tough.

Unless you are a professional athlete or personal trainer, most of your day is going to be devoted to something other than exercise and diet. But we still need to work into our schedules time away from work for other things. Kids only grow up once. You can't go to the store and trade in your body for a new one. Relationships takes time. Regarding an exercise program - there are many training regimens and exercises. While it is good to mix up things a bit to keep it interesting, if you don't enjoy running or weights, you probably won't stay motivated the whole year if you are forced into an activity you despise. Consider interval training if you get the ok from a doctor first. Studies have indicated this is one of the best ways to get in shape if you have the motivation to do it. Best of luck in your 2010 training regimen. Don't forget exercise cannot overcome the effect of a poor diet. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. You already know what it is you need to eat less of.
