Back story: I am on the road all the time. Between that and my total knee replacement(stopped me from running)... since I have retired from the Army, I had porked up big time (70 pounds worth)! So now I am putting my oldest through ROTC for the Air Force. He comes up to me and says... "Dad, you know I will Commission next year right?" I nod my head with a big ole grin "yep you know I am super proud of you!" Ben says, "I want you to pin me." Well I can't tell you how awesome that is and what an HONOR it is. "It would be an honor Son!" Ben said, "There is a catch... I want you to be in your Class "A's" when you do!" The color drained from my face as I knew there was NO WAY I could or WOULD try to wear my Dress Uniform in my current state. He wants a picture for both of us of me giving him his FIRST SALUTE in our uniforms! I know I am an old soldier but rarely I can get choked up. THIS DID! So I told him I would do it!
So I started out at Christmas last year 2010, with a total weight loss goal...70 pounds.
Starting weight was 265lbs.
As of this morning... 227lbs!!!
The down side is I can't seem to break 225! I have been hovering at this point for a month!
I still have almost a year to go to get those OTHER 30+ pounds!!
Please add me to the group!
