A funny thing is happening

As I near the original goal of losing 10% of my body weight it causes reflection.   This morning over a cheese omelet it dawned on me how much my system has changed.   After eating 2 pieces of bacon and the 2 egg omelet I was more than full and struggled a bit to finish.    That is much, much different, then a little ove a month ago.   Breakfast is a favorite meal for me and it was not uncommon to eat huge every morning.    

The ultimate goal is to tweak my lifestyle a bit and feel better about myself.   One never knows what the Lord has in store for us but I love my family a lot, and want to be around to enjoy them for as long as I can. Also as a father I believe its a responsibility that we have to be an example for our children.   The good news for my boys, who are much stronger than I about these things, is that if Pops can do this, they certainly can.   I pray that they are paying attention.  

This morning when I got out of the shower,no doubt about it I'm still a porker.   I had a lot to lose, unfortunately for me to look good another 500 twinkees have to drop.   That was discouraging.    Understanding that things are moving slower now I bet I can still break the 230 barrier by the end of the year.    Maybe even 220.   According to met life I should be a max 197 for my height.     Who knows.  

Only the twinkee king knows for sure.
