My new years resolution

I’m doing something a little different this year. I do resolve to grow spiritually. I have to admit the past couple of months have been a “dark night” as my patron saint would say. But I resolve to get over it. We are going to a new parish. Hopefully that will help a great deal. THis really isn’t a resolution, so much as a given. I have to do it.

So what is my resolution? Well, I never keep these things. I think it’s because I never really set a true goal. It’s always one of these “I’ll do this everyday” or “I’ll quit doing this”, etc…

Well, this year I am setting a goal. I also want to fix something that I feel is very wrong in my life. My health is going down the tubes. I know that and my doctor has told me that. I am so out of shape and overweight that I will start have very serious health issue if I don’t do something about it. So here goes, I resolve to be able to meet the standards of the Armed Forces Physical Fitness test by my 36th birthday (Aug 26th). No, I am not planning to go back to the Army. I am just using this as a realizable goal. According to this website, I will have to do the following:

• 56 push ups
• 59 sit ups
• run 2 miles in 15m 30s

I can do this, I know I can. But it’s going to take a lot of changes in my lifestyle and hard work. To be honest though, I am nothing but giddy about this. When i was at my medic training I never passed the PT test there. If I can pass it now, almost 20 years later, I’ll see that as a personal victory. Please keep me in your prayers as I take this journey up. I continue to post on my progress.
