Weighty Issues

A couple of weeks ago I was pondering my impending single status and lamenting re-entry into the dating scene.

"I am overweight and dress like a under-achieving hobo."

To which my best buddy Lon responded, "Gordy you can lose weight and Ann will dress you. Consider this: You have a good job, a nice house and all of your teeth. You are the King of Owosso!"

Hrmph. All Hail the King!

Last time I saw Chuck I mentioned that now that I can/should/might re-enter the dating scene I need to lose some weight. Chuck kindly pointed out that I need to move from "I got me some" weight to "I need to get me some" weight.

I really wanted to argue the point just for the shear "crudeness" of the remark, but how can you find fault with an honest and funny comment?

Ya. My weight issue has been weighing heavy on my mind. I am not sure what my current weight is, but I am betting it is near 300 which is way too damn fat. I need to get back down to 220. I can hold that.

So, soon, I will be blogging about my weight loss. Diet, workout regimen, state of mind - all of that info will be in the blog. I think documenting my struggle and completely exposing myself (I promise there will be no pictures) will keep me on task.

I have always been able to lose weight quickly when I set my mind to it. And my mind is set. I will begin in the next week or so, probably by Sunday night.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a cheeseburger and diet soda calling my name.
