First Post!

So I finally did it.  I've jumped on the band wagon and started a blog.  I'm not 100% sure about the whole concept, to be honest.  It seems a little presumptuous right?  Assuming people will read about the mundane details of my life, rants, and tie raids that I will randomly go on?  Maybe not.  Maybe it's just like a diary that I keep for keeping my sanity, but not quite as homo as a diary.  I'll stick with calling it a blog and see how long it takes me to give up and let it go by the wayside.

So, now that I've started this thing I figure I had better give you an idea of what I'm going to be going on about.  For starters, one goal of mine is to lose some weight.  Okay, quite a bit of weight.  Saying I need to lose some weight is like saying Christopher Reeves is kinda crippled.  I started January 3, 2011 at 412 lbs fully clothed.  As of January 31, 2011 I was 388.  I'm 6'5" so I'm not quite as round as the image you have conjured up by now, but I need to get skinny..er.  I'm making progress!  I have read that those who blog about what they eat tend to lose more weight than those who don't, so here's to hoping statistics are in my favor.   

In addition to more energy, longer life, and a better power to weight ratio on motorcycles, I'd like to thin up in order to look my best for my fionce, Kendra, at our wedding in September!  I'm shooting for an even three bills by 9/10/11.  Wish me luck!

Oh, and I forgot to mention my boss is trying to drop from 225lbs to 200lbs in as fast or faster than me!  I'm going to smoke him!  I'll keep you posted on the race!
