Time To Shed

I’m trying to figure this out. It’s got me baffled but I think I’ve come up with my answer. I’m fat because I am in fact…. LAZY!! I just don’t get it. I’ve been skinny before, kind of. I got there by not using the best methods. Why is it that I don’t have the drive and motivation to stay in the gym? What is it that’s stopping me? Hopefully this blog will help me figure out some answers and help others along my way. Instead of going to the ABOUT ME page…… here’s a little skinny about me(no pun intended). I am married for 9 years now. I have 3 fantastic little boys ages 6, 5, and 3. I love golf, CARS, rc cars, football, fishing, and laying my fat butt on the couch and not doing a darn thing! I’m good at that. I really am. I think that’s probably why I’m in the predicament that I’m in now. I am a stay at home dad who has all week pretty much to himself except for Tues. and Thurs. when my little one doesn’t go to school.

I am officially the  heaviest I’ve EVER BEEN! December 31, 2009 I got on the scale. I was 260.8. January 2, 2010 I got on the scale and I was 262.6. HOLY CRAP!!! What has happened? Back in October I was in the 230′s! This is plain crazy!! I can’t take it anymore! Now it is my TIME TO SHED my weight and get healthy. I want to see my kids graduate high school and college. I want to meet my grand kids. I want to live a long life with my wife Nicole. I don’t want to be like a golfing friend I knew who had it all and died at age 51 because he was 300lbs. and didn’t take care of himself.

I went to a party on Saturday at our friends River House. Great time. There’s a huge group of us that have all grown up together. My friend Matt….. he was pushing 280lbs. He was getting BIIIIIIIG. We were worried about him. I saw him on Sat. and I was SHOCKED!! He must be down to 220-230 range. I was so proud of him. If he can do it…. so can I.

I don’t know what’s going to happen with this blog….. I really don’t. I just hope that I can be serious this time and have a longer life. I hope that I can help just one person along my journey. Being 5’8″ and 262 isn’t the safest or smartest thing in the world. But if you’re reading this, and you want to do it too…… then let’s do it together. We need help from others. Sign up here and let’s get healthy together. PLEASE?!?! Especially if you have kids…… we don’t want to leave them early.
