First Official Weigh-in Complete

I would like to begin todays post by wishing my wife a Happy Birthday.

It is May 1st, 2010. I woke up this morning craving food, more specifically, I was craving an extra large double-double from Tim Horton's and then I imagined driving next door to Burger King to order two egg and cheese croissant-wiches. I do this often and for the first time I see how lazy I have become. A drive through is just an extension of the road I am already travelling on. Getting out of my car to get food and coffee has become a foreign idea to me.

Remembering this silly quest I have undertaken after getting fully dressed, I stripped down to reveal my body so I could climb onto the scale. Before doing so I looked in the mirror. I look pretty good. The few people I have mentioned this idea to have all commented that I don't need to lose 50 pounds. I carry my weight well. Maybe I can shrink this experiment to 30 pounds in 30 days, or even 10 pounds in 10 days but that would defeat the purpose. So I look down and the number is revealed to me. 263.5 pounds (119.5 kilos). Wish me luck. I am hungry.
