In the beginning, there was a plan. My plan includes a lofty goal of weight loss and a wee bit of public humiliation potential. My Facebook post earlier today says it best:
Some of you know, I dabble in a blog. Yesterday, I shared some views about accountability strategies for changes we want in our life. Little did I know that Mathias would have an epically horrible day at school yesterday. Both Denise and I know he will struggle throughout his life with behavior and with his weight. Funny how one can locate one's inner hypocrite during quiet reflection. I am going out on a branch of the limb of the tree that I am not sure can support me. In a sense, I am yelling from the mountaintop that NOW is the time I begin a serious battle against my personal obesity because I am a walking and talking hypocrite to a little boy who will be nagged, monitored and chastised for his weight. January 18 will be a Friday and is 100 days away. I will weigh 100 pounds less than I do now.
This blog, will be sort of "Diaries of a Fat Man". Who knows, might make a good book. This blog allows me to share exactly what I am doing and the progress to the big goal. I know one thing that I will do, I am posting 100 reasons why I want to lose 100 pounds.
REASON 1. I want to lose it for ME. I am getting the selfish reason out of the way right off the bat. I will delve into the more specific reasons as I progress. But on some level, it is about me. That is okay as I see the things I can do for others with a better ME.
The journey of a million miles starts with a single step..inch by inch is a cinch..
It is on
Just put one foot in front of the other and no matter the wind, the rain, the hail..put your head down and just keep walking. You can do this!!
