Week 2

So, week 2 of "Operation Dumbo Drop" is in full effect, and I'm starting to feel better already. I haven't done a whole lot of exercise, to be quite honest, but I have started eating better and drinking less soda. I hope to be completely off soda by the end of this week. Thanks goes out to everyone who has gotten a hold of me and shown, or voiced their support in this effort. I still have a long way to go before I reach my goal, but I know that it'll be easier with all of you rooting me on.

On a lighter, and much more fun note, I'm on my way to see the A's play the Red Sox tonight in Oakland. In fact, this whole blog is being written during my time on California's finest public transportation system, the BART. I'm truly excited to see this game tonight; mainly because I get to watch it with my oldest friend in the world, Adam Johnson, and his beautiful wife Dee. The other reason is because I'm a big A's fan, and I always love to see them play. Regardless of who is playing though, there's no greater experience than to sit down at a major league park with a bag of sunflower seeds and take in a baseball game. I wish I could do it every day.

Well, my time on the BART is coming to a close. Thanks for reading. Catch ya soon.

Never Too Late To Start Something New

So, I've decided to start writing a blog to keep those who care, which I realize may not be many, informed about what's going on in my life. This is all new to me so please bare with me for the first couple of posts.
I've began the journey of getting back into a healthy weight and lifestyle. As many of you know, I've been horribly addicted to caffeine for a good 12-15 years, and I finally decided that I've had enough. I'm not as young as I used to be, obviously, and I'm definitely not as active as I used to be back in high school; which, by the way, was 10 years ago! I'm determined to beat this addiction to both caffeine and an unhealthy lifestyle.
My goal is lose 80 lbs in the next year. Many of you might not know, or believe it, but I am a very unhealthy 275 lbs. So, 195 is the magic number for me. I know that so many of you are supporting me, and I greatly appreciate it. I know this is going to be tough though, because I have never really been a self motivated person. I've always been driven by the success of the team around me. But this time, I'm my own teammate and coach.
Again, thank you all for your love, support, and kicks in the butt you've given me in the past that have gotten me to this point of self-realization. I hope to do you all proud. I look forward to keeping you all informed of my progress.
