It is my intention to use this blog to record my journey of losing weight, getting healthier and becoming more than I am. In hopes that my children will learn that living by design is better than living by default.

That's a Shocker!
I am sure you are in shock right now, I know I am. The above photo was taken in 1988 and shows me and my beautiful bride to be. We were just kids really, I was barely a young 24 and she was about to turn 20. I placed this photo up because she was going through her scrap booking things and found it. After showing it to me, I realized I am 70 pounds away from weighing the same as I did in this photo. Obviously, I could be a bit thinner. However, I was really comfortable at that weight and was very active. I wore a 34 inch waist and played all types of sports. Actually, when I get to this size again I should actually weigh two-pounds less because of all the hair that I have lost. :-( No worries, bald is beautiful just look at all the guys shaving their heads. Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart and the list goes on and on. :-)
Last week was good in terms of progress. I lost three-pounds, exercised four days, and stuck to the program really well. I am going to go off today and take my beautiful children out to dinner at the restaurant of their choosing. If we have time we will catch a movie of their choice as well. Even if it means being a bad boy and having to make up for it next week with extra physical activity.

"Even if it means being a bad boy and having to make up for it next week with extra physical activity. After-all, as the photo indicates she can not keep her hands off of me. ;-) That's my story and I am sticking to it!"
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if the above is true, you won't have to worry about any weight gain - and can lose it before next week... LOL
