Finally!

You know those occasional mornings when you can wake up before you need to? Today was one of those days. I was able to get up early enough to have breakfast (Chocolate Rage GU) gear up for work, and cycle :) < 45 mins travel time (50 mins total) covering 14.5 miles, and burning close to 1200 kcals. Feels good for catching up to last week's vacation :D

Also we have the Santa Cruz Triathlon that our company will be participating in on Sunday Sept. 20th. I'm excited and honored to be competing and representing Data Domain in a corporate health function. Imagine, someone who had a terrible un-healthy lifestyle now getting into corporate competitions!! Even if I come in last place, it is an honor and an achievement by any stretch of the imagination to turn my lifestyle around 180-degrees.

I would love to reach out and thank those who have been supportive of my BS especially since they already recognized how was hiding how I truly was, a adult kid without direction in life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now know that I don't have to be afraid of who I am, what I am or where I will be; I am in the driver's seat and set my own goals and aspirations.

I hope that my actions can truly mimic those I look up to and provide inspiration for others to follow suit-- All it takes to get on a good path is baby steps :)

Have a great week everyone :)
