Those of you who know me, know that I’m a rather large man. I’m not bragging, nor complaining. Just stating the facts as they are. I’d put myself in the top ten per cent of large guys, worldwide. This might not be something that a person would normally blog about. I don’t know. Is there a norm; a yardstick to measure blog posts. Anyways, I had an idea.
Recently, I’ve been inspired by friends who have lost weight. I’ve also had a difficult summer, with my weight contributing to some health problems.
SHHH!!! Please don’t tell my wife. She’ll just worry.
It’s time. Time to make some changes. What does this have to do with my blog, you may ask? I’m going to set a goal for the amount of weight I want to lose before Christmas. Then, on a weekly basis, I’ll give you an update on my progress; maybe some insights I’ve gained.
What do I seek from you?
-Prayer and Support
-Advice, if you have any to give
-Encouragement
-Maybe, you have some weight to lose and would like to join me on the journey. Feel free to post your goals. I’ll be praying for you!

Well. . .here we go. Choosing a goal is not easy. I don’t want to make it too high, then get discouraged when I don’t reach it. I don’t want to make it too low and reach it in a couple of weeks. I also have to keep in mind the amount of weight (overall) that I need to lose, and on top of that, we’re coming into the fall/winter months. Historically, that’s when I gain weight.
NO! NO! Don’t think of those things! Set a goal and stick to it.
Okay. I would like to lose fifty pounds by Christmas. There! I said it.
Friends, your next update will be on Saturday, September 14th.
