My poor wife. She's had to listen to me whine for at least six months about how fat I feel. I'm not in any kind of awful shape, but I am out of shape. Well...round is a shape I guess.

Anyway - I realize that I am still just a little guy in the scheme of things, but I don't feel good. I've been in much better shape than this and my clothes have fit at one point of my life. I don't want to be in a place where I am feeling uncomfortable. Therefore I am announcing publicly that I'm going to get in better shape.

The above image is from this morning. It shows that I weigh a little over 193lbs. Okay, okay...it shows that I weigh just under 194lbs. This is too much for 5'9'' me. My goal is to get down to 178lbs. I've been at 178lbs within the last couple of years and I felt great.

I've got a YMCA pass and active friends. There is no good reason why I can't achieve this goal. I'm beginning this morning by going rafting with a friend of mine. It should be intense.

So here's to dropping some el bees. Please help me stay on task!

Allison and I are heading into the bedroom because it's business time.

No not that you sickos. That is a given. The business we're getting down to is in the Word of the Lord. We're devoting to do a prayer/study time together on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Ask us how it's going so we stay accountable and keep it up.

I want to be the kind of husband who grows spiritually with my wife...not just on my own.
