Marcus' Weight Loss / Health Challenge

All,

As you may/may not have known, the increased work load and stress over the past 12 months have cause me to gain back quite a bit of weight I had originally lost. After my latest Dr's visit I weighed in at 179 pounds, a bit up from the 158-160 pound weight I was carrying when I was regularly going to the gym.

My blood work also came back with high blood sugar, and high cholestorol.

So now it's come time for me to prove to myself, and the world, how some exercise, hard work, and good eating can allow you to drop weight.

My end goal weight is 155 pounds.

To make things a little more interesting, I'm comtemplating the following:

Allow folks to sponsor me, with a $ per pound lost by the end of the year. All money sponsored will be donated to either the American Heart Foundation or the Ronald McDonals House Charities.

Let me know what you think,

Gym starts tomorrow, the quitting of soda starts today.

Funnies with the kids

I'm pouring a bath for alec, and help him get out of his clothes and his diaper. He goes ahead and steps over into the tub by himself. His eyes get big and he says "Hot, Hot", so I quickly help him out. Sure enough the water was a bit warm.

What does Alec do?

He leans over the bathtub and starts blowing the water :)

Hot food, hot water, how simple things are as a child :)
