The scale doesn't Lie

I'm at my highest weight in the last 4 years- Have I been hire sure have- But I tip the scale at 335 pounds-

A hero doesn't wait for the right time to lose weight!!

They lose it now-

I got a X-mas card to day from and old classmate, Christoper Nichols. Good kid. But one of the last person in the Belmond Class of 1992 I would have pictured running a marathon but the Boston marathon? HECK NO- Sorry Nichols- But he did just that and in return lost tons of weight and as are class is getting into that old 36 age rage, he looks younger and healthy then most of the kids from that class do now. A hero can come in many shapes, ages and locations. Its easy to consider John Elway or the King of POP a hero- But how about the person next door that helps the whole block with snow removal , or the single mother raising 3 kids and going to school or the former classmate when most are getting bigger and unhealthy they slowed the aging process down . A hero isn't always a person the world know by name. But never more very important.

Blame everything or fix it

Stress- Money-stay at home dad- Wife is a good cook- Its cold- I hurt- Tired-sick- I will next week-

Screw this - I have gained weight again. Note to self, I need to check scale daily- That number helps me say no much better then not looking at a scale-

Confession: I used to be afraid of Spin class. Seriously. Before I summoned the courage to sign up, I would walk by the classroom, hear the music pumping, see the pools of sweat beneath the bikes and desperately want to try it, but I was too chicken. It looked so difficult, and what were those little knobs, and why were the people standing up, then sitting down, then standing up? I was terrified of getting into the class and not having a clue what I was doing or worse yet, not being able to keep up. Thankfully, my friend and then-roommate Katie, herself a Spin class vet, convinced me to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did!

Spin your way thin with this expert advice!
If you've ever felt this way, you're in luck! OurDecember Master Class is the all-you-need-to-know guide to stepping confidently into Spin class. We got tips from Laurie Cole, a master instructor at SoulCycle, one of New York City's hottest indoor cycling studios [ahem, to the stars]. Cole breaks down everything you need to know to reap the better-body rewards of Spinning.
Here are just a few of Cole's best insider secrets:
*The rule of three: According to Cole, it will take you roughly three sessions to get the hang of Spin--so stick with it!
*You'll get total-body benefits: Think this is a leg workout, only? Think again! Cole says Spinning is a killer abs sculptor, too. By engaging your core while in all three of the positions--she tells her students to envision hooking their bellybutton to their spine--you'll tone your abs and break a serious sweat.
*Bypass saddle soreness: I know what you're thinking: That's gotta hurt. And yes, it does, at least for the first few classes. But to ease ouch, Cole recommends sitting your tush as far back on fattest, most cushioned part of the seat.

Reggie Roby February 22, 2005 dies at 43

Ok, I know you all think the fat man has lost his cookies. Why am I talking about Reggie Roby? On this blog? Well his death in 2005 scared me. For the next year I got back into better shape quit regular pop and started drinking diet. Have the best year of my life for diet and fitness. One of my hero's as a kid was dead. Well this last weekend the Iowa High School Football put Reggie into the Hall of Fame in Iowa. It got me thinking, he died at 43 and the fatman is 36. That is 7 years older then me. Think about it, my son would only be 8 years. I don't want to leave early in life and because I was to fat. Screw that, this is no longer about me be skinny or fitting into some old clothing. Its about maximizing my length on earth.

In the days after Roby's death, former Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula praised Reggie Roby: "He was an outstanding punter for us and his booming kicks often helped us win the field position battle."

Nothing is better then? and other INFO

A cool raining night to run or walk. To clear your mind and burn some fat. It felt so good to walk tonight. What is keeping me from doing this more then once a week. I could have a blame list! But what does this do? It take away from the real person that has failed, MYSELF. I need to manage my time and get thing together.

I'm thankful for life- BUT Hate Thanksgiving
