No, the reason behind things is that I made a decision about a month ago, after looking at a picture of myself in the mirror, that, to be blunt, looked very different than the person I was 10 years ago.

Residency and medical training takes a toll, and having just completed a whole whack of it, I really have no excuse but to start living the advice I sometimes tell my patients.

Long story short: between parenting, work, and trying to deliberately live a healthier life – exercising, sleeping, and eating with intention and purpose– I find there’s not much else I have time for.

I guess there are probably a lot of reasons to whip myself back into a healthier version of myself, but like other people who have accomplished this, it doesn’t matter what the reason is as long as you do it.

I may return to blogging regularly at some point, but its hard to say when that will be.  Thanks to everyone who have stuck around for 3 years, I’ll be sure to keep in touch.

Tony.
