My first time

So world,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Justin I am 21 and live in Iowa. I am getting married in August to the love of my life Christi. Christi and I have got engaged in December after dating for over three years. I am currently pursuing the career of a police officer. This summer i will be finished with my associates in criminal justice. If you know of any jobs i would appreciate the leads. For now I am working at two jobs, one is shoe store, and one is a grocery store. They get the bills paid and that is about it.

The Office is my favorite show of all time, and Christi and I get together with my friend and his wife every thursday to watch it. I am also a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan. They won 4-2 tonight in case you wanted to know. They are also in the lead of the NL central by 3 games over the Completely Useless BY September C.U.B.S. GO CARDS.

I recently have taken up the sport of cycling. I am a beginner, but i am taking it pretty seriously and am loving it. It has been a great way to get in shape, and i am working on getting Christi as hooked as I am. Starting out i have been trying to do at least 10 miles a day. Some days i do more, it just depends on how much time i have to ride. This summer i plan to ride everywhere and avoid using my car as much as possible. I wouldn't say that this is me trying to be "green" but just trying to save money. I am getting married in three months so saving money any way i can, helps. Anyway, Iowa has a annual bike race called RAGBRAI and i hope to participate in it next year. I would this year but i have a lot going on already. Getting married is enough in itself. The race is starts at one end of Iowa and goes to the other. So this summer i hope to get up to riding 20 - 25 miles a day.

Riding has also helped me lose weight. These last 18 weeks i have been watching Biggest Loser. If you do not watch this show you should. It is amazing how these people transform their lives. I saw people who weighed at least two times what i do run a half a marathon. It is just so inspirational. My aunt also has been inspired by the show and started losing weight on her own as well. She has lost 40 lbs.

So I have set my own weight loss goal and so far i have lost 11 lbs. I have about 15 more lbs to go until i get to my goal. The first two weeks i lost a lot and it has been a little harder to shed the lbs since then but i am getting there. I also hope to be at my goal by my wedding day. I do understand that this might be a little challenging when trying to get a tux but oh well, i will be in shape.

Well world, or friends, family, whoever reads this, I am signing off because i have to be up at 5:30 tom. to go unload a shipment truck. Goodnight.

  1. I think it's so cool that you have a blog!

    Don't you just love The Biggest Loser? Did you watch it this week? They ran an ENTIRE marathon! Tara is my hero by the way. She's been my fav since the beginning. That girl is awesome.

    How awesome that you've taken up cycling? That is so cool! Hope you can get Christi into it so you can cycle together. I'm still trying to talk Davey into going running with me. Not working so well. LOL.
