All things regarding family
The Sackrider Slimdown is a family effort to loose weight. It’s about support from your family to push you to work out, eat right, and get the weight off. Saturday, the Sackrider Slimdown wasn’t losing weight… instead we lost ground. We all, Stephanie, Dianne, Dad, and I were at a birthday party for a church member and not one of us said – “DON’T EAT THAT CAKE!” No, we all ate cake. I had more than one piece.
At the request of Dianne, we are moving the offical weigh in to Mondays. So I weighed in yesterday at 299.5 lbs. That’s a two pound weight loss since last Wednesday! I still have twelve Monday’s between now and the 10 year class reunion, so I’m counting this last Monday as the new kick off date.
I missed the mark… I didn’t invite anyone from work to our church sponsored barbeque and I didn’t invite my neighbors. I really fell short. I have excusses, but why bother? I missed it, plain and simple. What do I need to do to change? It’s too simplistic to say, “I can’t change myself, I have to rely on God” but too overwelming to say “I’ll pull myself up by my bootstraps, and fix this thing“. It has to be somewhere in the middle.
