        There has been some pretty good improvements in my blood work over the past year. I’m quite excited about the changes and am more excited about the next year.
        \nI’ve been able to accomplish so many of my goals, and I’ve been able to inspire and motivate many of my friends and family members. That alone has been the greatest reward–to see others starting to live a healthier lifestyle. To me, it means that we’ll all be able to enjoy longer and healthier lives.
        \n2012 was the year of getting into shape and running races. It was a great motivation and it got me healthy. This year, I’m focusing on my jiu jitsu. I entered in my first tournament two weeks ago and walked away with a 2nd in the Beginners Masters no-gi, and a 3rd in the Beginners Masters gi divisions. My next tournament, I’m determined to roll with the younger guys. I feel good enough and strong to be able to compete at that level. Also, for this year, I’d like to refine my abilities–run farther, faster, lift more weights, have more endurance, etc. It’s about making what I am now, better. There’s tons of room for improvement. I still have some body fat to trim off so there’s that.
        \nWhile I apologize for not updating as regularly as I have in the past, I’d like to attribute that to the fact that I’m going out there and living life now–spending as much of my free time doing the things I wanted to do. But, I’d still like to give back to the program and lifestyle that has given me another chance.
        \nHopefully your changes have been as successful. If not, remember, this isn’t a crash diet. It’s a lifestyle. A pound here or there is still a pound here or there. If over the course of one year, you can look back and see the changes you’ve made, just imagine what you’ll be able to write about in 25 years.<\/p>\n
