Howdy. Well its been awhile since I’ve posted, but have been keeping up on everyone else’s blogs. I’ve just been really lazy, thats all i can say. Had a couple weeks after my surgery where I couldn’t get to the gym, but I still continued to lose weight just a bit slower. The hard part is getting back on the pattern/habit of going to the gym regularly. I got that all ramped back up this week.

I am happy to say I hit 193.8 pounds today, thats 30 pounds of weight loss in about 7 weeks. If I hadn’t missed those 2.5 or so weeks of workouts I’m confident I’d have dropped to 190 or lower, but thats okay, just gotta stay ramped up.

Its hard to miss multiple days in a row and keep motivated. My wife hit an amazing 125 today and is still working with her trainer, she looks and feels great.

Once again changing positions at my job again. This time they came to me rather then me asking for change. It gets announced tomorrow I think so I can’t really mention details here yet, but I’ll be sure to update you all when that happens. I’m pretty excited for it and I think it will be good for the company as well.

Heading out to the in-laws annual family reunion camping trip, should be a fun. The kids love it down there and Ethan and I get to burn around in the mountains on the 4 Wheeler, bhooya! Too bad its not hunting season at the same time…bear opens Aug 1st, is July 16th close enough? Ethan and I are heading to Idaho in August for a week long trip. Probably head up to yellowstone, he’s really into Geysers right now so he’s pretty excited about that. Plus his first airplane ride. Good excuse to buy a Nintendo DS me thinks!

Well time to head to the gym, I like going after 8pm because there’s not many people there, crank on some Jay-Z w/ Linkin Park or Godsmack and hammer the place. My official goal was 192 by mid July which I would have hit if I hadn’t had to take the break, but I’m thinking close enough…time to set a new goal, wonder what that should be?
