Hello Fan, I am back

So I have decided to give this whole blogging thing a second shot. I have no idea why, other than the fact that I have a stock pile of new "scary but true" life stories that I thought could be fun to share and the fact that I finally reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of self image (i.e. I am sick and tired of my Body by Pillsbury) and have started to work out with a trainer. I took out a second mortgage and will be training now three days a week until the Fall, with the goal being able to look respectable in a bathing suit (I don't think that's a lot to ask) by the time I hit P-town over July 4th. If the way my quads feel this morning are any indication, I am in big trouble. Either way, I thought that keeping an online diary of my progress will help myself and I am already excited to be able to track my morphing in to a Catalina porn star (well, not quite, but a boy can dream).

So, I will continually post my overall stats, and that way, when you, my one true fan, see me on the street, you'll be able to recognize me by my measurements, if not my ruggedly good looks...LOL.

True and actual weight as of 4/9/07: 195 lbs (yes, fatty, fatty big daddy, I know...but I hide it well on my frame 5'10.5"...LOL). Other stats will be posted later, once I remember to write them down at the gym. The weight, however, is permanently tattooed on my brain. Tipping the scale was a very shocking and painful experience, but an excellent motivator (and a small relief since I was convinced I was at least two benjamins...hahaha...look at me thinking I am so ghetto)
