Setember 30, 2009

Hello all. Thus ends the month of September. Not the best month, not the worst month. I definitely ended the month stronger than I started it. I fell I have things under control for the first time in a long time. I am excited about the rest of the year and for what the new year is going to bring.
Tonight I went shopping for a Halloween costume. Once again I was extremely limited because of my size. I found a cool mask that will still let me sing at the annual Halloweed barn party. I have my cape from last year that I will wear again. Next year will be different. My friend Kyle sold me a Brett Favre jersey size 52 that I will someday wear as well. So many things to look forward to and it's all up to me.

Goodnight and better tomorrows.
Welcome to October!!

Hello all. It's 9:30 on Tuesday night. Had a better day than I have in a long time. This thing is going to click after all :-). I bought a new web cam so I hope to add current pics and video to show my progress. I want to get into a good rhythm before the holidays are upon us. I have a feeling my 1-1-10 picture will be a good one!!

Better tomorrows!

Hello all. As we come to the close of another month, I am reminded that I haven't been the most religious blogger. I posted maybe 5 this month. That is just not going to cut it. I am letting myself down, and showing others that I just must not be taking this serious. I obviously am not. I read all of your blogs everyday and see the tremendous accomplishments that you are all making. I wonder what it must feel like. WHAT? Wonder what it must feel like? I have the power to be one of the success stories. I don't want to be looked at as an occasional blogger. I would like to be one of the inspirations like so many of you are. In two weeks it is going to be the two year anniversary since I saw the doctor about my hernia. He said then that I have to lose about 70 pounds before they can operate. He also said that about 90% won't lose the weight required. I remember telling him that I would be one of the 10% that would....yeah right. Two years have gone by. I should have lost the weight, had the surgery and lost more weight by now. Instead I sit hear almost exactly the same as when I went in there. Talk about wasting your life. And still I am ashamed to go in public, embarrassed to go on stage, frustrated when I go clothes shopping and waking up with stomach pains. When will I learn there is no Pros to being like this. I made a list of the pros and con's of being morbidly obese. Sure, I would benefit in a strong wind storm, but that's about it. All kidding aside, there aren't any benefits. I will be 50 in seven years and nine months. I would like to have the rest of my forties be happy ones.
When I stared this blog, I called it "My road to a new me". I know that we all run into road blocks and have our bad days, but I really need to focus and stay on the road. Its a long journey and it should be a happy one. I know that it is going to be a hard trip. No cruise control. I will be tested by rough terrain, tall mountains, winding roads and traffic jams. I just need to keep that foot on the pedal and keep an eye on the rear view mirror and wave goodbye to the place that I never want to return to. I have my GPS set for a happy and healthier me~!!!!

Hello all. I didn't get to write the "big blog" that I wanted to this weekend. I was house sitting for my brother and I couldn't get on the internet. Saturday night the band had a wedding in the Wisconsin Dells and today was just a lazy day. Green Bay Packers lost and the Minnesota Vikings won. I promise I will write that big blog that I've been wanting to write this week.

Hello all....This weekend I will be watching my brother house while he goes up north for the weekend. I am going to do a little soul searching, and post my longest most honest blog to date. I need to write something, even if a little bit, every day. I have started reading Sean's blog from day one. It should be on the best sellers list! There are so many bloggers that I want to thank. I love you all!

Happy Days are here again!!

September 09, 2009

Hello everyone. Yes I am still alive. It is 09/09/09. What better day to get my sh*t together. Not that I need a reason, but I would like to think of this special day as the day I started down the road again. I had a good food day, plus my job lets me get a free workout :-) My legs are still hurting from the past weekend walking through the Mall of America for 2 straight days. I have made a small list of dates that I want/need to be thinner. #1. Halloween party (finding costumes is a b*tch when you are heavy) #2. New Years Eve #3. High School Reunion #4. My 43rd birthday.
These are just 4 special days that I want to be thinner. Truth is, I want to be thinner every day from now on. It's going to be tough, but it will also be the most rewarding thing I have ever done. And best of all.......IT'S FREE!!!

Much Better Tomorrows!!
Scott

PS...I am watching Man vs Food and I think I could do almost all the challenges :-)
