I rode my bike to work again today and it was gorgeous, except for home slice in his SUV that totally cut me off!  Seriously, does it take that much longer for me to get to the stop sign?

I was feeling frisky this morning, and encouraged from our guys in the band bible study on Monday, so I got up early, hit up a coffee shop, grabbed a cup o’ joe and did some reading.  I’ve got to tell you, though, getting back on the bike for another few miles is tough after having that coffee. 

So far so good on the points (that’s right, I’m rockin’ the dub dub for this one), and with meetings all day and only my bike here, there’s no chance of heading of campus for food, so my wife made my lunch today.  That’s right fellas, she’s hot and she can make a mean turkey sandwich!

I’ll start by being a little honest.  I have, what doctors call, a little bit of a weight problem (props if you caught the Tommy Boy Reference).

While I’ve been a bigger guy forever, the last few years are when I’ve been at my heaviest.  Since I’m tired of lugging around all of this extra baggage, I’ve decided to throw down, blog style for some online accountability.

My goal - lose 100 pounds.

To do this, I’ve come up with a plan.  I’ll be hitting up the gym for the first time in several years and since I’ve always had ways to avoid going to the gym, this time around I’m going with the one guy in the world I can’t stand up; our pastor.  We’re going three times a week as soon as he gets back in to town.

In addition, I’m riding my bike to work three days a week.  I’ve got the helmet, the light and even the padded bike shorts for that extra comfort.

I’ll be checking in here each week with my progress.

Here’s where you come in.  Anyone want to drop a few with me with some accountability 2.0?  Add your comments and track your progress.  No judging, for as the Bible says, “Let he who is without weight to lose cast the first doughnut,” (or something like that), but just a little something we can do together.Â
