I’ve never liked the look of my site. It seems like there are lots of Tumblr themes to chose from, and I could certainly pick on and modify it to meet my needs, but for whatever reason I can’t seem to get something that screams ‘me’.

Tonight alone I’ve tried 5 different themes and variations and didn’t like any. It’s getting late to I’m going to stick with this current one. Maybe it will grow on me by the time I wake up. 

Tonight I bought the domain manvsflab.com.  Yes, it is a flagrant take-off of one of my favorite TV shows, Man vs Wild on Discovery. That show gets me so fired up that I want to run into the woods and get lost just to see if I can find my way out. I’ve really enjoyed 1minutewingman.com and I’m looking for something to work on that’s a little more focused. Being overweight seems to be an epidemic in the US, so I figured I’d go for it. I love the name – I was shocked it was available. I’ve been looking for hosting and themes. 

My current plan for manvsflab.com is to focus on motivation and simple steps. I don’t want to get into nutrition or exercise advice because there are simply too many sites out there for that. I’m hoping to make the site the place where people begin their journey of 1000 miles. I’ve always thought that getting started is one huge hurtle for people to overcome. It’s a great challenge to see if I can do something to help overcome that. Additionally, I plan to offer ongoing support and encouragement because I think the second biggest problem for people is to keep going without falling back into old habits. Should be interesting.
