Unofficially Day 1

I am so excited to have my own blog!!!

I have ballooned to 238 pounds and this blog is going to hold me accountable. My goal is to get down to 190 pounds...thus the name of the blog should now make sense to all my followers. My wife is a professional blogger so I will be asking her all kinds of questions and she will scoff at some of my writing, but in the end I know she will be supportive of this goal of mine. Day one didn't start off too well because my wife made a toasty roast beef, potato, and roll dinner and I ate a few too many rolls. So Officially we won't call today day one.

I know that losing 48 pounds will not be a cake walk but I will have to walk a lot and eat less cake. I plan to weigh in weekly and photos will come soon. I hope this will keep me motivated.

I am doing this for my health, my knees hurt because they weren't built for this much weight, for my heart and to avoid diabetes which runs in the family and I am doing it for my wife and my kids. I want to be around to see my grandkids and I want to be able to play with them.

I ask for your support if you ever log in to view my blog. Right now I can squeeze my belly around my belly button and it looks like a bagel(a hairy bagel.) When all is said and done I hope to not be able to squeeze my belly. Wish me luck. I don't have an exact plan as of now but I will work my tail off to lose my big tail. well that was dumb but oh well.
