There was a lot of fun going on in that photo.

But, it also served as a slap to my face. I look like Gimli. Just fatter.

Bad body image stuff aside, I have decided that today is the day I start taking what I have noticed and failed to address for quite some time… my health.

The back surgery.

The kidney stones.

The sleep apnea.

The pain.

The tiredness.

This picture.

I weigh 250 pounds. I need to get to 215. My goal.

I have goals at 239. 229. And 219. First.

I am going to a dietitian.  I am starting to walk and do my backercises again.

I will also start a new 52 books in 52 weeks.

Too much? Nah.

Wish me luck.

I won’t promise new writing… Yet.

Me and the boys… me and the boys… (Think, Shakes the Clown.)
