My Fat Picture

Here is a picture taken of me and my wife after a church service. Looking at it think I have a nice smile, but a really fat head. I was looking for a "before" picture and this one is as good as any. I was about 250 lbs at the time. This morning I weighed in at 246.2. That loss is the result of cutting back on serving sizes, eating more veggies, and fish. Plus, I've been working very hard to get my basement back into shape after the flood and all those trips up and down the steps carrying furniture is paying off. So, I've dropped a little more than four pounds in about two weeks. Love it!

I have to be honest though, I was very hungry today. I had a serving of old fashioned oats and a half cup of fat free cottage cheese for breakfast, and a bowl of Progresso light beef pot roast stew and a turkey sandwich for lunch. By dinner my stomach was growling. For dinner, steamed veggies, a small helping of fried potatoes and baked fish. Man did that fish taste good.

I need to start an exercise regiment in the near future, after all, I have set my treadmill back up in the basement.

My Verse of the Day: [You knew this one was coming.]
1  When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well whata is before you,
2  and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
3  Do not crave his delicacies,
for that food is deceptive.

That food really is deceptive!
