Hello Again

Aug 17, 2011

Wow.  Havent updated in 6 months.  Wow.  

I am down 150 pounds so far.  I have been holding steady at about 270.  I wam wearing size 38/40 for shorts/pants and 2xl-3xl if I can't find it in a tall.  I feel great, have a ton of energy, and am loving life.  I still have the problem of ordering clothes online that are too big.  Guess its the mindset that I have to keep working on.  I know I can fit 2xl, but I buy 3xl just to make sure.  wierd how that works.  My wife needs to stop asking what size I want and just order stuff for me!

Summer has been amazing.  We goto the pool almost daily, my 2 year old is jumping in the pool and swimming already.  He actually kicks and goes under water, but only for a few seconds at a time. That has been a new thing for him and we are thrilled by it.  

I am not doing much BBQ'ing.   Its too hot, and there is that burn ban.  I did compete in a contest in April and got 11th out of 50 teams.  My best showing yet.  

Now we are getting ready for TAIDS and the opening of Dove Season.  TAIDS is a huge part of my life, and our group raises the most money to donate to ALS research out of any org in Texas I believe.  at the walks and meetings I used to goto with it, we were donating close to 20k each year.  Its a great feeling and this year will be another record breaking year I think.  

I need to start working out again.  I really love running, and now I am starting to swim.  I enjoyed going to the gym, but I despised all the time it took away from my family.  Wife would leave before 5am just to get the gym.  We both worked til 5, get the boy, do dinner, play with the boy, put him to bed, I goto the gym at 8pm.  Wife goes to bed at 830, and I get home at 10pm or later.  Started hating spending time away from family.  So I am going to have to find a way to get that back in my life again.  

Hope everyone is doing great.  I will try to update again soon, and update pics. I update Facebook all the time, but never here heh.
