weight loss journey 1-12-13

Has it been over a year since I posted? Wow?!?! What a year though. I have moved 2 times, left my pastoral position, started attending a new church, and most importantly got married!!!! 

I write today for 2 reasons: 1, I said I would blog more and 2, because I miss blogging. I guess Im blogging today for accountability reasons, thats three reasons but its my blog so whatever. I am at a point in my life where decisions are getting bigger and bigger. I cannot think of just myself anymore I have to think of my family. I need to get healthier in many ways.

The first way is I need to get healthy is to lose weight. I want to come back on this blog this time in 2014 and have lost 75 lbs. Its a lofty goal but none the less its a goal I have and really want to see it happen. My wife deserves a healthy husband and I need to do it for myself. In the future when kids start coming I need to be healthy for them. It is my job to teach my kids how to lead healthy, productive lives. 

I know its a taboo thing to talk about but if Im going to truly lose the weight I have to make it a public thing. The thought of putting my weight on this blog scares me and motivates me. so without further ado my starting 2013 weight is 316. At the time of writing this blog though I am now 311.2!!!! Already on the right track! cant wait till next week when I can share more of my weight loss journey and update on the weight lost!
