Were almost a day before we all sit down and celebrate the new coming of 2009, much has happened in 2008 that brings joys and tears to my eyes. From the peak of the club to it’s total stop, from turbulent markets to markets with no cash, from loved ones falling down to illnesses and friends that didn’t live up to their designations, it has been an interesting year indeed. I personally have realized some dreams in 2008 both on a personal and professional level yet i have one thing that has gone completely wrong, I gained weight, and allot of it. I was on the scale for the first time in years in Dubai on my trip a few days ago, the scale read 100 Kgs. I literally went from 88 Kgs, to 100 Kgs you do that math.
I sat here in my room for the past 2 hours wondering what has gone wrong, and i really can’t find something that i can blame besides myself. It’s funny how one begins to deny what is happening and start to believe that another Kilo won’t hurt and “if i have done it before i can do it again”. I write this because i feel pleasure getting this off my chest, and to be honest i am more at ease telling the entire world this than sitting in front of someone and talking about it with shame written all over my face.
I have decided that 2009 would be my come back, personally. The Six-K Club and all its members are welcome to join on my daily runs, what i’m going to do is post on the website where i’m going to be and the time and if you want to show up your more than welcome, however, don’t ask why i gained weight
and please bring an iPod, i love my alone time and this time i want to share it with you all.
The website will be running quiet differently, i’m going to post more random posts, much like my personal blog (my ex blog i would guess would be a better term) www.extension5151.com, about politics, markets, friends, experiences, etc. This way even though the weather might throw us a curve ball and we can’t walk at-least your in touch with the site, and hopefully i’m wondering if you can pull some IT geeks around to help me start a thread or maybe a chat room for us.
I love you all truly, i still to this day tell everyone i meet how much you all mean to me and how much this club really deep down inside me makes me feel, I will proudly say that without you i wouldn’t have kept off the weight for so many years (and it’s more evident now than none), i met so many friends when i didn’t even have ONE, and to this day i find love and support from all of you. You truly are the spirit, i’m just the bystander .
