In the beginning

Yes, I will have to admit that seeing the movie Julie & Julia has finally brought me to the place where i would like to start a blog. Ironically I've been having these conversations in my head and thinking, "I need to write this stuff down." So here it is... I'm writing this because i am a man on the edges. Not just one edge, but many...edges! On the edge of being more responsible...the edge of losing weight...the edge of being a better dad, better husband, better follower of Jesus. And the time has come to jump. It's not a midlife crisis. I still have a few years before that comes, but before that time comes i want to have made some changes (or at least some better decisions) in my life. So these are the things i am going to keep you up to date with...

1. My Walk
2. My Weight
3. My Wife
4. My Children (i tried, but i couldn't think of a "w" word for it. sorry.)

and not all in that order!

I currently weigh 253 pounds and I eat without self control. I mean, I do have some self control...I don't eat stuff i don't like. but that's about it. So my goal is to be under 200 and tone. Not ripped, just tone. i have lost weight before, and with your help, i can do it again.

So, starting today I am going to LOSE THE WEIGHT.  I don't want to be this way any longer. I want to lose this weight. For me. For my wife. For my kids. And...for you...my fans! j/k

Well, I will see you tomorrow with the reports of todays success and failure. And until then, look out below, Dan is jumping.

  1. Dan, Jay Bleau here. I saw your post on FB so followed it here. I was in the 250s earlier this year, and now in the 230s. Like you, my goal is to hit under 200. Good luck!
