The Truckin’ Blog

I’m still here.  The blog has taken a second or third seat to life in general.  I thought I would post to let my followers know what’s up in my world.

The job is working out well, making good money and actually seeing the house fairly often, it has really made a difference with family life and overall happiness. 

I am no longer the fattest person in the room’s thankfully. My followers are aware that I had some serious health problems a few years ago and it convinced me to take charge of my life and get into shape.  So far I am down about a hundred pounds.  It has made such a difference in my life.  I am able to do things and enjoy life like a young kid, as a matter of fact I am in better shape now than when I we as in high school. Got to stay motivated and this is the hardest thing but I never want to get to the point of ending up in the hospital with a tube shoved down my throat because I was just too lazy to take care of myself.

I am going to keep this post short but look forward to more in the near future, I want to get back to writing on a regular basis, I really enjoy it and now that the

life has settled down I can put more effort into my blog.

Writing this on my new tablet and still getting used to the on-screen keyboard so if you find some errors blame it on my android.  I promise it will get better. Ha

All for now, everyone stay safe and watch out for the other guy because no doubt he is looking at his phone instead of watching for you.

Happy Turkey day all, hopefully everyone made it home that want to be there for the holiday. Don’t eat too much and remember to give thanks for all that we have in this Nation.
Be Safe.

Just looking and saw that I haven’t posted anything in a long time, no excuse. Got to get back into doing this on a regular basis.

Changes:
I am in the process of changing companies that I work for, the old one seems to have lost its way and no longer was making me any money. Its one thing for things to be tight in this economy but I had gotten to the point of paying them to drive their truck and deliver their freight. Just doesn’t make sense to continue. Starting with a new company this week and will be pulling tankers. Should be a new adventure.

Still losing the weight, lighter and healthier than I’ve been in a long time. Trying to walk and exercise as much as possible and watching the diet. Its hard to stay motivated but the progress helps. I have gone from a BMI of 42 to one of 33 on my last DOT physical. Still have a ways to go but we are getting there.

Enough for now, going to make the effort to get back into blogging.

Everyone stay safe and watch for the other guy.

Heading East to Boston this weekend. The weather has finally made a turn for the better, at least as far as the temperature is concerned. I’m sure after this last winter Al Gore won’t have so many friends left. I think even the farthest left have figured out the Global Warming deal is a lot of media hysteria drummed up to make a few like Mr Gore rich.
Good Friday is here and Spring along with it. I’m working this weekend so I can have time off later in the month. I managed to get on a nice long run that let’s me take it easy and enjoy the weekend. Truckstops will be pretty empty and hopefully traffic won’t be too bad.
For all that are off this weekend, have a great Easter holiday. For those out here working, be safe and watch out for the other guy.
