DAY 76 -- Time To Be Serious about Wait....

The other day I was looking at numbers and it reported that I have posted 300 times on this post.  WOW.  I am told that most people (I aint people) don't keep a blog going for 300 posts.  I could spend the rest of this post this AM trying to figure that out, but I won't.

Instead, I am reporting that three of my sons joined together and decided to start working on excessive weight.  So we met Saturday and decided to set our own goals to work on.  We all decide what we, individually, needed to work on as a starting point.  So, for the coming two weeks, we are going to strive to meet our initial goals.  I have three. One I am going to drink lots and lots of water.  That is a good thing I am told.  Second, I am going to stop eating candy at work.  Our secretary always bring in candy, and of course one thing she brings in is one of my favorite, cinnamon bears.  Third, I am going to try to walk a mile each day.

After two weeks, we are going to get together again and see how we are doing, modify our rules and regulations, and expand them or do whatever we feel is necessary.  We know ourselves better than Jenny Craig, or any of those diet people, thus we are going to strive to work on it ourselves.

Of course we are putting into the little plan the R and R principle.  No, not rest and relaxation, but the return and report principle.  Three times a week, we are going to expect a report from one of the other ones doing the same.  Thus we have to report how we are doing during the two week period before we analyze and modify our plan.

I feel this will help me, and help them be more diligent in doing what we know we need to do, and in my case, drop about 15 pounds in the next four months, or sooner.  I am sure I will be able to jump tall buildings, run faster than a speeding bullet, and even fit into some of those pants that have gotten smaller through the past weeks and months.  Another goal! 

Also we are getting closer to submitting our papers, and thus talking more about what we are going to put down on our preferences.  Interesting time right now...  Exciting.  Also I am starting on the trial of attending the dentist for the next millennium trying to get those teeth into shape to serve a mission.
