Twice the Man I was 10 Years Ago

I've been debating about 100 different things the past few days about my goals, my walking, trying run, etc. I've been going through my old blogs (go to http://icanseemytoes.blogspot.com and look up my blogs from 2007. Healthiest year of my life was the year I turned 30).
I was flipping through and found this link:
This was the result page from the Turkey Trot I did back when I was 30 years old. I don't even remember running a 31:29 for a 5K. I'm literally double that 10 years later).
I think this was the thing that I needed to see in order to motivate myself to get better. I've BEEN there before, and frankly, it wasn't all that long ago.
Then I found this blog:
And this picture I've attached is what I looked like. I'm almost TWICE the man today as I was back then.
I can't believe how dedicated I was. Perfect eating choices. Working out because I WANTED to and not because I HAD to. And I was running a few health and weight loss groups - we were hosting challenges, losing weight as a team and I was MAKING a difference in not only MY life, but the lives of others.
So, what makes me different today than who I was back then?
1: I didn't have kids.
2: I had a lot more free time.
3: I had a lot more money (see: #1)
I have to be smarter with my time, that's clear. But I can do this.
Starting now.
