I made a promise, and one that is very difficult...

[BoneDigger]

But, I plan to fulfill that promise even if it seems to be killing me.

Tonight my daughter Elizabeth (10) asked me "Please daddy, lose weight. I don't want you to die early, I love you." I made a promise to her, and to my wife on Mother's Day, that I will lose the fat. So, tomorrow starts the fulfillment of a very important promise. I am a man of my word and this WILL happen.

My dad died of diabetes and my mom is an insulin diabetic. She is on dialysis and has lost one toe already. I am heading down a seriously slippery slope here. Time for it to stop.

Good luck amigo! I'm starting tomorrow and have 3 months and my goal is 30 pounds by August 13th (3 months)! Stay motivated always knock out one more rep when you think your done or sprint that extra 50 yards to keep pushing!
