So here it is… hold me accountable!

In my last post (about 10 minutes ago) I said I was trying to lose weight. Well, here it is… I weighed in at 267 pounds this morning. This isn’t my heaviest in recent months, nor is it my lightest. My goal is to lose 100 pounds. In previous discussions, Sarah has said she doesn’t think I could weigh 167… I don’t know. Let’s address that when we get closer.

My plan, as lame as it is, is to try … eat right, take it one day at a time and see where it gets me. Just 1 day at a time. It’s kept me sober for 20+ years, so hey, maybe if I apply that as a good principle… maybe it will work. Anybody that wants to support/help/encourage me is welcome to, but it’s not a requirement of spouse-hood, sister-hood, in-law-hood or any other hood… I would just really like to get back in shape. I have no admitted it most publicly, so if you see me eating pie, nicely remove it from my grasp!

Album Art

Since I gave up my spam counting obsession, I have managed to transfer my OCD behavior to something at least as worthless and/or exciting! I now have developed an obsession with updating my iTunes album art for all of my random music I have acquired over the years. You heard that right, those little icons that show up … or if you use coverflow… I am on it! I have to have them. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

Another recurring them in my life is popping up again. As of today (again) I am working hard on trying to lose some weight. Not long ago, I did the same thing. It seem that inevitably I fall off the wagon and eat pie over and over. I don’t know the solution, but things are going reasonably well. I didn’t gain TOO much weight over thanksgiving, I just have to keep trying. I am not sure what my ultimate solution is. I mean, I like to eat. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs… my vice is food. I am good at eating. It’s unfortunate. Maybe I should become a vegan? Yeah, that’s me. All vegetables.

To get you up to speed… we went to Maryland for Thanksgiving. It was a nice fun trip. My sister showed up with her husband, so we had the whole famdamily there. Max and Derek were good. We went to the Uga Chucka Airplane museum or something like that… fun was had by all. It was really neat to stand about 20 feet away from a space shuttle. Oddly large. I’d live to actually tour that.

I’m rambling. I will be back later…
