Changes

We all go through alot of changes as we run this journey.  Recently I was reminded by my 14 year old daughter on how much i have tried to run away from my old self.  Yesterday, I came home from work and They had not completed a list of jobs that needed to be done. So I became frustrated and a little stern with them.  Where as before I was kinda like a little kid blew it off and took them somewhere to have fun instead of all the chores.  i realize now that i have to find that happy medium because I don't want to loose that great bond i have with my kids.   I have to compromise with my inner self and say the new u is great but some of the old U needs to still be alive.  So today we went to PUTT PUTT Golf, Roller Bladin and Played Foot ball in the snow with the kids. As well as cleaned the bathrooms and do a couple loads of laundry.  This journey plays with my head as much as my body but U can't forget where you came from cause there was some really good things you need to hold onto. Thanks for listening Troy

Hey Troy, glad you're figuring out who you are, even as you shed the weight and become more "exposed". It's a trip, eh?!

Thanks, Amy.  If it wasn't for your last post and the presious time i got to spent with Linda today at coffee to fiqure these things out i'd kinda still be lost.  Can i ask you a big favor?  can you set up another Hopkins coffee at the depot?  I miss seeing everybody from the other side of the world.  Hopkins seems to be a middle ground place to meet.  Let Us know Thanks  Troy

Aw, hey, we're all in the together - we all learn & we all teach at times. Just remember that Tee because when you post, many learn! And you & Rose must have been talking because at MG coffee today, she said the same thing...HOPKINS COFFEE, HOPKINS COFFEE. Watch the board and thanks for mentioning it & requesting it! I know they are excited to have our group back.

YOU have a 14 year old daughter!!  yeah, that'll make ya frustrated!! LOL  I hear ya tho!  My kids asked me a few months back "if the new skinny me is gonna have crabby streaks"...wake up call.  Glad you are learning sooner then I!!!

YOU are SO awesome Troy....especially for a man!  Sorry, but it's true.  Good job getting in touch with yourself and figuring things out!  Your kids sure are lucky to have you!  Sounds like a great day for ALL of you!  :O) Lisa Joy

Good job Troy...youll find your balance!  Ill bet your a fun Dad!!! Nice talking to you today! Take care  :)

Good for you for recongnizing that you need to stay you. It's tough not to change a little. For me, I have more confidence and I'm sure it shows. But I would like to believe I am the same person on the inside.I don't want to let this go to my head and think I am "all that". But at the same time, I want to feel good about how I look and feel now.  It sounds like you had a fun day. Where is PUtt, Putt? We may have to make that a OH night out thing in the summer.  Lori

Lori, thank you.  There is 2 places we could do this one at MOA and the other is at grand slam in Burnsville Troy

Good Job Dad!  Change is good, it is part of life but so important to take a step back and decide which changes are right for you and yours and which are better left unchanged.
