As most of you know, I have been a skinny guy almost all my life. I remember the days when I could sit down and eat a large pizza all by myself and not think twice about it. I am not too proud to report that I STILL can put down a whole pizza myself. My dad told me it would likely catch up to me when I got married. He was almost correct. I really didn't have any problems until our first child was on the way. Sympathy weight took on a whole new meaning for me. The good news was Becca was able to lose her weight and then some. The bad news for me was I went up from a size 34 to a 36 jeans. I was OK with this......I'd been a 34 for the last 9 or so years! It was time to embrace the married, fat and happy persona. Then all of a sudden, our second was on its way and the pounds started to pack on. Our cupboards were full of all kinds of tasty snacks. I even managed to find a few of Becca's "secret stashes" of candy and chocolates. It finally hit me in the temple when I had to sit through an agonizing 2 hour session with pants that were a size 36 and way too small! At that point I realized I had to do something and fast!
For the last month now I have been at it hard. I play basketball every Mon, Wed, and Fri mornings and I hit the gym every day on my lunch break. I've been doing cardo as if my life depended on it! I am happy to report that my size 36 pants are here to stay. They fit much better now. Just how much weight have I lost you ask? 2 measly pounds!

That was great story, sorry it made me laugh! I have started to get to be were I am not going to try to let my weight bring me down. It will come off but all in time. I am going to take it a day at a time. I have a whole lot of excuses, do you want to hear them? LOL
Yes, getting old sucks!
Opps! I did it again,
Hey that is Brittney Spears!
That last comment was me, Raina!
Welcome to blog life, guys!!! Ahhh... the days of going to the gym at lunch. I should get abck into that routine myself. much harder when you've got a two year old. :)
I know the feeling. I am in a biggest loser competition at work and I am actually a contender! How depressing is that? I am in larger pants and I don't feel right about it. But, the sizing of rented temple pants is a testimony shaker for me. How can the true church have size 36 pants that feel just like a 32 in levi's? good luck.
