DOWN AGAIN!!! WOO HOO!!!

Well Im officially more than 1/3 of the way there! I have to admit, with the little bites of naughty food here and there over the past week, I am shocked that I still lost! I have been going to the YMCA every day since the start of this and I am at the point where I look forward to my daily wind down at the gym. If I....WHEN I get below 240 it will be the first time since my son was a baby that I was in the 230's. I am so freaked out about this. For the first time since I started, I can notice a difference in the mirror in the mornings now. One bad thing....I need to go clothes shopping soon :)

Broncos send the Texans home in tears!

Once again, our defense was shown to be one of the toughest in the NFL. The First team D let no one near the endzone and our 2nd team offense "aka: Jay Cutler" proves that he was worth the draft spot as he easily picked apart the Texans D on a great TD drive in the second half. Final score: 17-14...Don't let the score fool you...They scored on our 2nd and 3d string D late in the game...and it was tough for them even at that! Way to go Bronco Nation!

Im so excited about my loss this week!

Get this! I cheated a bit this last weekend...Ok...I cheated A LOT! I ate Chinese on Friday, and on Saturday I ate a bunch of pizza with my pals Brad and David, whom I have not seen for a long time, and also indulged with some brewha's. I was sad on Monday...I showed about a 2 lb. Gain and this ticked me off. I went back to the YMCA and busted it for the next several days and low and behold....Weighed in at 243 on the mark this evening! I am so happy that even if I cheat a bit, I still lose, so long as I get back to business on Monday. Im so happy that I still took some weight off and even cheated a bit. This is getting easier week by week. I am finally starting to look forward to the YMCA every day now. I may even start going on weekends now. Not because I have to but because I WANT to...Funny how that works eh? Well on to next week and hopefully I can hit 240. Any loss will be welcome. I am so proud of myself! So many people try to lose weight, but just do not have the willpower. I will prove that it not only can be done, but it is not hard to do it. So long as you WANT to do it.

Here is a pic of my progress since I started off of the web community I am now a part of:

Back to School...

What does the picture above have to do with school you might be wondering? Well, it is a pic of an autumn Colorado sunset. Deidra started her final year of school yesterday, and with each passing week we get closer to starting a new life. When she graduates next fall, pictures like the one above will be not only just as beautiful, but easily taken with my own camera just by walking outside and going for a drive! It seems so close now. I am so proud of the hard work and dedication my wife has shown for the last year! Deidra has accomplished so much already! We have started selling odds and ends around the house. I don't want to bring much with us. We plan to start a new life together and that means buying brand new stuff. No need to pack everything up and bring it with us. We will only bring the most important things with us. As for all the rest....bye bye clutter! I am going to Denver in October for the Broncos vs. Raiders game. I have field tickets for me and CJ. While I am out there, I plan to check out some hospitals and destinations for Deidra so that our choices will be better made as to where we will go.

With each passing week, I get more and more excited and motivated to get out of this humid pitiful state. Next summer the real decisions will be made, but as for now...just the preparation.

Bronco Nation Destroys Titans!

Mike Bell ran down the Titans Defense and scored twice in the Broncos 35-10 rout of Tennessee on Saturday. We look good!

BOOYA! Down again!

Almost 1/3 the way there! With every week of loss, Im gaining more confidence in my routine. Looking to lose more by next week. Its been a long time since the last time I was under 250. Now 240 doesn't seem to hard to reach.

Taylor had a blast!

Although his birthday was on the 8th, we waited until Saturday to throw him the bash. We did it UP! We went with the whole Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and he loved it! The family came over and we had pizza, movie and a treasure hunt, and then Dylan and Evan spent the night and the boys stayed up until 1:00 am. I taught them all to play ESPN Football. Of coarse I was the QB and Taylor and the boys changed from RB to WR. We were on the same team and we demolished the opposition. Taylor is taking a nap right now. He woke up at 7:00 with the boys and he is no doubt tired from all of the fun.

Get ready Bronco Nation!!!
