Losing

In about an hour I am heading out to meet with my new personal trainer.  I honestly don’t know what to expect.  Here is a picture of me taken in 2003 right before I graduated from college and another taken just 2 weeks ago.  I believe I was around 175 in the top picture and 222 in the bottom picture.  When I saw the difference between the two pictures I knew that I needed to do something before it got out of control.

I have a wife that needs me around and one day I will have kids that will need their dad to be able to go outside and play with them, run around with them, and not die because he was too lazy to get in shape.

So, I am grabbing the bull by the horns and I am going to change the way I live.  I hired a trainer, I am telling pretty much the entire universe via this blog, and I am going to be providing photographs…every week.  SHIRT OFF.  WHOA!

That’s right.  I will be baring my soul and now my body for all to see.  You can read all about my 6 month odyssey at the Character Fitness Blog.  I would encourage you to check out this blog everyday.  There is an option to subscribe via email and I hope you will take that opportunity and walk with me through this journey.

And if you are so inclined there will be an option to participate in this kind of life changing experience yourself.  (Well, at least the fitness part…I’ll spare you having to take pictures of yourself.)
