What is this blog about?

What is this blog about? It started as a sort of journal about the journey I thought I was taking - one of weight loss. You see, my wife inspired me to finally change my ways, get off the couch and start working on being healthy. I'm selling it short, but that's the gist of it. In any case, the efforts I made to lose weight resulted in developing a love for fitness, and I've decided to carry on with it.

Here at last is my story. . .

Close! And Slow! (-2#)

So, some ups and downs to talk about here.

The last time I reported, I was down another 2.  I had actually weighed in again on the following Thursday and went down ANOTHER 2 that week, which was great!  Then I went up to the in-laws for the weekend and destroyed my diet for the weekend.  I'm talking catastrophic havoc being wreaked.  It was brutal.  It didn't get better when we got home because it was mother's day, so we went out with the whole damn fam.  Needless to say, the extra 2 pound loss got evaporated, so I effectively didn't move again until yesterday when I dropped back down.

Soooooo, that means only another 2 pounds to go for the big FIVE OH!  Perserverence is in there.  Dedication.  Strong fucking desire - can't stress that enough.  Not a desire to buy new clothes - I hate spending money on crap like that.  More a desire to be a good example for my kids.  A desire to be attractive to my wife.  A desire to try to be something better than I was.  Consider this - in the past year I've dropped *nearly* 50 pounds by changing how/what I eat and hitting the gym hard.  I've changed jobs to something that doesn't require I work with people who don't understand me a bit. I'm in the process of buying a new house that will move me away to a magical new land . . .several blocks away.  I feel like an entirely new person and i'm not even done yet.

Maybe this crazy plan of mine will work after all.
