The Sackrider Slimdown Begins!

OK, yesterday was the first offical day of The Sackrider Slimdown!  Dad, Dianne, and Stephanie are joining me, although, I’m certian I’m the only one brave enough to post my weight right here online.  I will weight in every Wednesday moring, and post my weight, as well as my eating habits and my exercise routines.  Maybe this psudo-accountability will help me to bring off the pounds.

Now because I want the thousands of readers out there (harharhar) to quickly see my weekly results, I’m going to create a new page and link it up top.  That way, it won’t get lost in my other posts about life, ministry, and family.  Feel free to comment on any of my posts – any words of encouragement are welcomed!
