Good Bye New York.... Hello PA/DE/NJ

So, after a failed plan A for a new job, I have secured plan B. So, I guess there are two wheelers that are leaving New York in 2010. My new job will entail me taking on two markets (New Jersey & PA/DE) and two teams.

New York was not as much fun the second time around, but this move should be great.

Take me out to the ballgame....

We ventured out to the Red Sox Game yesterday. Got the monkeys out of school early for a nice treat. Unfortunately Sandy was not able to join us as we had some last minute changes with her family flying into town. The kids had a great time!

Sonic pulls at me.....

So I had my first challange in this whole avoiding Fast Food. We had a very busy day on Saturday and were not able to eat prior to our venture out to Little League game, followed by trip to Sonic. I did admit that I would go to Sonic as they do have some fantastic drinks, but we were starving.

So we go to the new one in Wilmington and get in line. I told Sandy that I was not getting any food, but would get a drink. Route 44 Lemon Berry Slush - Delish, which probably has about 1 million calories. Anyways, I made it without ordering and am still going strong. It was hard though. Harder than I thought. Fast food is so easy to get in a pinch.....

How did this whole thing start? I was working one day and forgot to make lunch, so I ventured out to the local Wendy's, which is one of my favorites. I pulled through as I do from time to time and made my order. When I finally got my food, I noticed that they screwed it up and gave me too much. So what did I do? Of course, I ate it. Way too much food and I felt horrible for most of the day after that. From that point I decided that I needed to make a change. I am also cataloging what I eat on dailyburn.com. My goal is to stay within 2100 calories a day.... My goal is to get to 185 again as I now am at 200 and rising......

In the spirit of heath....

I am going to start to avoid fast foods, but I want to qualify this for all who might be reading this.

For me, fast food would be something that could be prepared while in a drive through line, or something that can be prepared within 5 minutes of ordering. So that would mean the Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Sonic, and other fast food places around the world.

Complicated? Potentially. I will admit that I will most likely venture to the Sonic for a beverage or two over the summer, but no food.

The countdown begins...

Good Morning Sunshine

I never thought that I would come to enjoy the sunrise over the Everett skyline, but it is sort of nice. This is a view from my office every morning, weather permitting.

This is my life in the new job. Hopefully all will settle down soon.
