Well the whole purpose of me starting this blog was for me to document my goal and progress in losing weight. The time has come for it to start. I have decided that this will start on our 8th wedding anniversary..which is Tuesday. I will document what I eat, what exercise I did and anything else that helps me visualize my goal and desires.
I have come to realize how selfish and pathetic I have been that I have not taken care of myself like I should. I have promised Anna that this goal is for myself, for her and our future family. I don't think I am doing that poorly health-wise per say, but being extremely obese on the BMI can't exactly be a good thing. But I was pretty much obese on that scale in HS too...anyway, BMI sucks. I want to ensure a lot of fun and action packed years with my family. By being more healthy, I can do my best to do this. Especially with us starting our family in our 30's, I need to be more active and ready for whatever we decide to do. Hell, we could be doing foster care into our 50's for all I know.
That has been a really rewarding experience so far. It stretches you to the limit, but in the end it has been great. We will have had 5 kids in our home and 5 kids going home to their dads. Maybe we can eventually set some goal for our lifetime for foster children. It has taught us a lot about life and what some kids have to go through. And why they turn out the way they do sometimes. So it has helped me with tolerance and patience.
Anyway, sorry to blab on. Wish me luck in my new journey starting this next week. I will be posting my weekly/monthly goals on Tuesday.

Amen! But in your high school graduation picture, your face looks so freaking skinny, it's not even funny. yikes.
Yes my face was overtly skinny for my body...oh well. It was good enough to get me a few dates I guess.
Yay! I am also trying to get this 40 pounds off and keep it off. It has been a struggle for probably 35 years, so not easy now. I'm glad you will do it for you. I pretty much feel good health-wise too (in spite of high blood pressure and cholesterol). So here's to us both!
If you ever need advice (excluding a meal plan), feel free to ask me anything.
Also, since I went to a conference about obesity.. I have the updates on the industry (meds, surgeries, etc). If you try and fail (at least 6 months to a year), the gastric lap band is a safe, non-invasive way to lose weight.
The lap band still requires a huge diet change. I need that anyway without having surgery.
wtf is the gastric waste band.
Good, you can come train with me during thanksgiving.
gastric WAIST. Not waste. Idiot.
WTF are we training for? The 2nd coming?
