St. Michael's Jolly Elf Trail Run 2009

Saturday morning, the family and I got up early to run the St. Michael's Jolly Elf Trail run in Cary, NC. It's for a great cause (St. Michael's School). It's a great course and they make a real event out of it.
This year it was 27 degrees at the starting line, but we had a blast and my time (28 minutes for the 5K trail run) was pretty satisfying for me.
For those who followed my 2008 Dozen Diets blog, you will know that 2008 saw my first 5K. It also saw me start the year at 240 pounds and finish at 180. I am still in the 180's and keeping the weight off a year after my "Dozen Diets" experiment ended.
I am cranking up this blog because I hope to put my approach into a book that I can share with others.
My dozen diets approach was super successful for me, and I was a long term over-eater with weight problems that I just could not get a handle on.
I'll keep you posted about my progress, but the book should be ready in 2010. Can't wait to help some other folks out!

Welcome

This is the launch, or re-launch of Dozen Diets, my own personal weight loss program that helped me drop 60 pounds in a year. You can do it too and I will certainly help. Stay tuned for more.
