I've really let myself go. I looked in the mirror the other day and saw this:
It didn't happen overnight. I moved to Charlotte 16 years ago and thin, fit man and each year since then I have gained weight. I love to eat but I've taken that to another level. My biggest issue is late night snacking. I think I would be OK if I was physically active. There have been times where I ran or worked out religiously. Those are the times where I felt my best. In the Summer of 2004 I trained for the Chicago marathon and when I ran the race that October I was as fit as I had ever been. Not thin, but healthy and strong. I want to get back to feeling like that. I have read blogs about people trying to lose weight. Complaining about exercising and being hungry all the time. That is some lame and interests nobody. Just eat less and exercise....that is my motto. I am extra motivated thanks to my daughter. At a recent event at her school the Dad's ran a relay race. I thought I did great and ran pretty fast. Afterwards she said I did great for being the fattest Dad....ouch! I felt like this guy:
Until tomorrow,
Dave,
