I must be seeing things.

I have been trying to loose weight for sometime. I have tried all kinds of things through the years but I have finally done it. I got on the scale last week and saw my weight, and I told myself if I see it again next week then I will know it is true. Well, I got on the scale again and it is offical, I am at 203! I have not seen that number in.....I dont know when! I know I really need to start with the working out now, I have become such a loafer when it come to that. I just dont have the motivation yet, it is just a mental block that I have to break out of.
The wife has been doing well with her working out, so now I have to get my ass in gear. I want to tighten up and it wont happen by sitting infront of the tv or computer. I am going to aim for tonight as being my first step, getting the old Chuck Norris muscle machine out and dusting it off. I used to use that thing all the time now I just stare at it, well I think its time to put down the games and the pointless internet surfing.
I have my diet down pat now the next step to get back into my workout. I am going back to the curicut training, it is fast and probably the most effective way to get where I want to be. I just have to watch the eating, exercise increases the appetite like no tomorrow! And the old me would just eat and say I would burn it off later at the gym. Old habits die hard but I have not gotten all this way to start packing it back on!

The wife is going away with a friend for 4 days starting this Friday, and I dont know what to do with myself lol. I will probably go out on Saturday night with some friends and on Sunday if the weather is nice I will take the kids to the park or beach. We will see how things go.

Let the healing begin.....

School is out for the summer so lets see if I can tame at least that part of the beast that has been paluging me. Many of the issues I have been having are starting to work themselves out. I am still trying to find an outlet, I am going to see if I can go to the rock climbing place on Thursday, we shall see. I really want to start that up again, I am making plans to go out just to see where this place is at, how much and so on. I never got to the point where I was actually capable of going on a real outing, and I would love to be able to do so this year.

I got my final grades back, all f-ing A's! Business, Art and Finance all A's, I must say that was some of the most stressful grades thus far. I am hoping for a better semester in the fall, maybe this time around with me and my meds I can keep the stress of the work load down.

I am now a Master Mason with the Free Masons at the LaFayette Lodge #27 in Rahway, NJ. I still have one more thing I have to do but it is going to be much easier than the other two! Below you will see a group photo of all the guys, I am on the bottom row, second to the last on the left. And on a personal note, the suit I was wearing that night was the same one I wore to the wife's Xmass party. I will admit it was rather snug at her party but that night I was almost loose! I have gone down 20lbs and it feels damn good! I got my eating in check now I have to get back to the old exercising which I have had no motivation for, but I have too one way or another.




I am slacking off big time with many things but I think I am getting back into the grove of my life again. I am looking forward to a few up coming events:

• Going to Florida to visit the brother
• Getting to met a blogging buddy that is supposed to be coming up to the NJ/NY area.....Sheila
• I have been saving up money to get more work done on my sleeve.
• Getting back to climbing/hiking
• Going to CA. in October for a kid free vacation...yes kid free!
• And spending time with the family in the great outdoors.

I am sick of the cold, the wet and rainy weather. I am soooo looking forward to get outside it isnt even funny!
