Q. What do Rep. Bobby Moak and Speaker Philip Gunn have in common?
If you answered, “Pretty much nothing, Marshall,” I’d forgive you for your honesty. Politically, the men are on opposite sides of the aisle. But this morning, they were both out in the rain on the first day of the ‘Fit to Lead’ workout challenge. Paul LaCoste’s morning class meets at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. and today was the first day. It was day of seeing where the participants are. Where their “baseline” is so that progress can be measured.
Me? I’m in terrible shape. I went from marathon to marshmallow in about a year. This morning I weighed in at 241. My goal is 195.
It’s time to break the mold. To be different. To nip some health problems in the bud. It’s time to get back into shape. To defeat middle age.
It all starts at 4 a.m. when I my head lifts the pillow. Mind, Body and Spirit will be challenged.
Paul will be pushing me. The Biggest Loser Season 10’s Patrick House will be inspiring me (he has challenged me to lose the weight and will be weighing me at SuperTalk’s Fitness Expo on April 28th.
If Mississippi is going to slim down, I have to do my part. Today I did.
Now to go find some aspirin. I’m sore.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. And one less bite of food. LOL You go!!!
