So what is all of this about?
This morning while on my run I started thinking about my web site and how I have yet to clearly state what I am doing, how I am doing it, and why I am doing it. So I have decided to explain myself.
Initially I wanted to call my web site "Fat Chance" because I realized that this is the chance I have at losing weight and becoming healthy. I also realized that I could partake in a series of sports events as types of goals to help motivate myself. The first goal was to run the Tely 10, a annual 10 mile road race that has been held in my city for 79 years. With a lot of training, and some help from Running Room, I am very close to completing that goal or "fat chance".
After the Tely I will post the other "fat chances" that I will be doing in my quest for a healthier body.
So that is where the "Fat Chance" part of "Big Fat Chance" came from, so now you must be wondering why there's a "Big" in there!
Quite simply I had to add the "Big" because someone else already registered "Fat Chance".
As far as eating I basically try not to eat as many bad foods as I used to, and now I eat vegetables. When I was a little boy my Mother would try and get me to eat my vegetables, and I would refuse (and I mean refuse). Until one day she just gave up, and for the next 15 years the only vegetable I ate was potatoes (I don't blame her for giving up on trying to get me to eat properly).
So now I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and not as much snacking, and lots of whole grains. Mix in 5 days of running a week, and some time in at the gym and you'll end up with me!
Also, I went to Spun downtown today, ordered my custom made t-shirt, and she should be ready for next Wednesday. This'll be totally bitchin!

Hi Jeff
I red a bit on you posting, what caugth my attention was the 16 km you ran. My god, you doing really amazing. You really rock man, there is not change at all, it is certain, it is a fact that you'll live a fullfilling and HEALTHY life.
I Think I will do the same, that you are doing regarding the multiple streams, or avenues to motivate and help youselft on your goals. There is a 10 Km run here in Niagara Falls, sometime in October, I will register and start practicing. I will be happy if I can walk it in a decent time. Running that is still out of my reach, one day, may be I'll join you next year on the Tely 10.
In fact I will post an Open invitation to any Weigthloss blogger to join me on the 10 Km. There is also a half and full marathon.
I think the T-shirt thingy is really a good idea, I went to check on the prices for silkscreening a couple days ago, here in my town, I found them a bit too expensive, they were chraging me $30.00 just for setup + the price of the Tshirt+printing. Where did you order Yours ?
well Jeff , keep the good work, ehh
