Where I've Been

Hello, I've began blogging again and I would like everyone to join me at Going For health.

A little different format. I'm trying to be lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle after moving to New England.

Day -2

Finally

Hello,

I'm Daniel Turman and I have been searching for myself for as long as I can remember. Many of you who are reading this blog have searched just the same. I'm tired, fed-up, disgusted, overwhelmed and sick of being what I consider mediocre. I've battled addictions to nicotine and alcohol since I was a teenager. I have been broken down by the negative thoughts of self-pity that have controlled my life until now. Over the next 80 or so days I will record my eating habits, sleep schedule, photos, feelings and mental attitude so that I can show the world that I, Daniel Turman, can overcome obesity, self-loathing, sleep deprivation and most importantly mediocrity to the world. Welcome to my new blog, my new self and Parameddan as a winner and not just another Paramedic who thinks they can't go above the perception of those around them!

My Challenge

Ok, I've made the move.

The truth about global warming. What a winner.

Where Have I Been?

It's been quite a while since I have felt compelled to write anything related to this blog. The urge to blog seems to come and go for no obvious reason. Now that my wife and I have finally made our move from the Deep South to New England, of all places, I feel that I can write again. The last few months have been very difficult. Given the stress of moving, applying for a job, applying for school and trying to understand what everyone is saying here has been very stressful to say the least. I've gone to the edge of sanity and feel that I may never return to normal. I'm back in the field, urban EMS this time, and it's fun but busy as hell and the turd factor is through the roof. Anyway, I hope to share many stories from now on and maybe I can hold it together.

Peace.

Men's Health Belly Off Challenge!!!

I have decided it's time to join the Men's Health Belly Off Challenge. Over the past few years I have gained way to much weight. Now it is time to do something about it. Tomorrow is my first day of workouts and I commit to doing the workouts and eating like I know I should. My current weight is 227 and my goal is to reach 185 by the end of the year. That's very ambitious but doable and flexible if I need more time. I am excited and willing to sacrifice the french fries for better health.
