I look back at my previous posts and I remember thinking that walking ten miles a week was a great deal. Today, however, I can't think of walking so little. Last week I've stepped up my walking and I have been walking three miles consistently, and today I just finished a four mile walk. Ten miles is nothing. After Saturday's walk the tally was 17 miles but I didn't feel particularly challenged. Today was my first four mile walk and I feel achy but satisfied- I have found my challenge point. From here on out I'll endeavor to walk at least four miles a day until it takes me less than an hour to do so- at which I shall escalate further.

I managed to secure the optimal shift for school. I was really concerned that due to my drop in ranking and the poor choices I might have had to leave my job. However I did get the shift I wanted- it'll have to adjusted a little bit but that shouldn't be a problem. I'm looking forward to this year in school.

I'm amazed right now how the jigsaw puzzle of my life seems to have pieces fit together. It's starting to look like a complete picture. As I've started to make my money behave and work for me, my drive for physical improvement has also stepped up. And since my physical improvement has stepped up, so has my ability to pay attention to what I'm eating. I'm beginning to feel like an engine that has been sitting in a lot during a long winter and now after a tune-up and a shakedown cruise, I'm running efficiently again!

I've had enormous encouragement from my friends, and for those who have read this I thank you. You have meant a great deal during this journey. It's great to hear your cheering voices at my side.

So, which is the real Jeff Raven?
