Since this will be the first time I have ever written a blog you will have to bear with me. I hope this thing has spell check. :-)
I have never thought about doing a blog before because quite frankly I never thought anyone was interested in what I had to say. Because, quite frankly I have never been to concerned about what any one else had to say. And, if I was, I would ask them. However when in the course of human events it become self evident that one needs to do something to regain control of one's life, then he should do so with any and all tools at his disposal. Therefore I will be using this blog, and hopefully the readers of the blog, to help me in my effort to loose 80 pounds.
Yes. You read correctly. 80 pounds. Many of you who are close to me are often telling me "you really don't look that big." My friend Dallan is one of those people. That is one of the may reasons he is my friend. My Mom is not one of those people, that is why she is my Mom. She tells me like it is. Sometime it is best to get a healthy dose of both.
Most of you know that I broke my neck when I was 16. At the time I was quite an athlete. I have gained weight every year since. Except for the few years where I just maintained. I weighed 185 pounds when I broke my neck and when I graduated, which was the last time I felt "in shape", I weighed 220. My goal is to get back to the 220 mark. I am a big guy. Probably always will be "bigger", but the reality is that if I wait any longer to start taking better care of myself than it may be too late to avoid long term health problems. My family all suffers with weight issues. My Mom and my uncle John are both diabetics. So far it seems I have inherited my Dad's pancreas, however I hope not to inherit it 40+ waist size any longer.
To all of those who are willing to help me in my quest please feel free to comment, encourage, scold, tease, cheer, laugh, and cry along with me. Post comments early and often, and hopefully we can have some fun together on this journey. Thank you for you time.

Sorry I haven't figured out how to do the spaces yet. It's a little hard to read

Weren't you the one who told me blogs were stupid? (You obviously haven't read mine.) But making a public commitment is a great thing. Guess what? Suishi is sort of healthy. We should go eat suishi together and I can show my support. Oh, and I'm off the next two weeks so we can go ski and work off the suishi!
ReplyDeleteOh, and your profile says you are 32. Liar! You've got monthes to go before then. I'm the one getting old in a month.
