You've gotta start somewhere and some time!

Man what a year. The big 04 is winding down and it's time to reflect on what was and what could have been. I do have to say that one of the happiest moments came this year when my wife and I found out we were going to have a baby girl. This is our first child and I am so excited about the new life that God is blessing us with. Just seeing that ultrasound and the baby moving made me have a whole new outlook on life. One of the things that I have been slack on and need to work hard on is my health and lifestyle. As of right now I weigh about 260 lbs. That would be 1,040 sticks of butter if anyone was wondering. Over the last two years I had lost from 280 to 230, but unfortunately I have let the pounds creep back on. I don't want to be an unhealthy and overweight parent, and I certainly do not want to miss my daughter's happiness in her future endeavors, so I am making a committment right now at 10:00 pm to lose weight and become healthy not only for my future daughhter and my wife but for myself also. My plan is to count my points on a daily basis and to exercise at the fitness center. I will be weighing myself often and recording the progress on this site with pictures of progress. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.
