A Bit Embarassed

Before I met my wife I lost 40 pounds in 2 months. But back then all I did was work out because I got addicted to it and wanted to be in really good shape when we met.

 Sometimes when a girl gets married she stops caring so much and puts on 20 or 30 pounds. Well my wife did not do that, but I have been doing so much stuff that I just sorta let my health go, unfortunately. Because I lost so much weight before I met her in such a short period of time it was easy to gain it back. Plus I gained extra. I am too embarassed to even write down a starting weight, but I am well above everyone else on the list.

In addition to moving, getting engaged, and getting married last year, I also took on more partnerships, worked on more sites, rebuilt my business model, helped my wife start kicking butt, and etc. 

 We are a product of our past decisions. I kept being the nice guy saying nice to everything until I could take on no more. When I really turned the corner was when a VC offered me a decent equity stake in a company to help them build it out and I decided to say no. Then I cured myself of the email blues when my business model changed. 

The web consolidates markets. If you are not near the top of a market and are spread across many many markets it is hard to do as well as you could if you focused on a few sites / a few projects / a few markets.

I still have a lot of work to do on the business front, creating more SEO tools, adding more SEO videos to my site, doing interviews and newsletters, chatting on the forums every day, and maintaining my blog. But I have been cutting back on other projects. And the weather is warming up. Hopefully I will start working out every day again soon. I am hoping to go to the gym first thing tomorrow morning
