"You haven't changed a bit (since high school)!"
"You look exactly the same!"
Man, I hate those words. You'd think that somehow, over the past 15 years, I'd find a way to improve on Greg v.1993. Especially in some areas.
In one area I know I've changed. In 1993, I tipped the scales at about 250#.
Last Friday at the gym, the scales at FitnessPlus showed I had made a slight improvement. Only 272#, down 10# from last month.
For those of you who don't know me, haven't seen me in a while (or have struggled to forget me...for some weird reason...), I have been blessed with many things in my life, especially an great appreciation for well cooked foods (in the finest German and Southern traditions -- meaning lots of fat, yeasts and sugars), and fine, friendly folks ever eager to make sure I never go wanting in this regard. So, this afternoon, after a fun day at St. Andrew of troubleshooting microphones on the fly, making sure the Powerpoint worked, and that the video recording was being captured into Adobe Premier just like it should, I had an idea. Actually, I remembered an idea.
Several years ago, while I was burning time browsing through blogs, I came across one where the writer would, every week, post how he was doing in his battle with his belly. I liked the idea in that not only did it allow a way for his "cheering section" to kep rooting him on, but also was a unique way to chart how and what he was doing. Nice way to keep himself accountable.
Soooooo...... I'm going to see if it works as well for me as it did for him. Exercising, staying away from the french fries and other junk -- saying it is easy. Sticking with it -- a bit harder.
So, how 'bout it? Let me know what you think. As of right now, let the battle start at the 272 line. I'll let you know how it goes.
