WHy ello everyone... New and old. It's been a long time since my last post...it's been a long time since I actually did something with this whole weird "exercise thingy". When we last checked in on Saturdaysaint (yeah... I'm in a "third person mood"), I had reached day 60 of my P90x routine. Was going to post my 60 day pictures...then i fell completely off the face of the earth. What gives you might ask? Well... moving, stress, moving again, new job, stress, newborn, etc happened...that's what. Our son is now 2 and a half months old now... and he's growing fast. He's gonna be a linebacker that one! We moved from Florida to Georgia...and lets just say we got off on the WRONG foot. The place we moved into was a complete and total dump. Not fit for anyone to live in. So within a week (filled with frantically searching, scrambling and fighting with the old landlord), we found a new place, had to reload a uhaul truck and move again. Luckily it was less than 2 miles away though. And closer to work. So thats good. Things are busy...very busy around here. We love our new place and it's such a quiet neighborhood. We love it here. But onto the part about me and my slacking with my weightloss/exercise routine.
After my son was born, It through me off my schedule so badly, I lost complete umph and want to exercise. I was so tired all the time.. I tried and tried as I might. But to no avail. I started skipping days, not giving my all... sometimes not even getting up. Then my sister in law came down to visit from Canada with her son for a MONTH and...well, trying to exercise with a guest in the house that sleeps close to the room you work out in at 4:45a.m. just isn't conducive. So there went another month. Then we get moved, and settled...and It had been a month and a half since I truly worked out. I haven't gained any weight thankfully...well... actually..taht's not true...It fluctuates from day to day... some days I'm down to 186, then back up to 191. It all depends. But the good news is...my skin is still shrinking...which means I can fit into my size 34 pants that I've been holding onto. For all those that remember my wife (well, for that matter for those that don't know us from adam as well), she has now started exercising as well. She started doing what I started a year ago, the Biggest Loser work out dvd. And I started back at the beginning of P90x's Lean Program. We're starting together, as a team. Our goal is to both lose about 20lbs by Christmas. It's gonna be WAY harder for me than her...she loses weight way faster than I do..and I am at the end of my journey... the last 20...which after looking at when I started my "Under 200" diary, that was 5 months ago. That's devastating. Breaks my heart actually...I SO should have been down to where I wanted to be by now. Thats what happens when you slack. So I'm picking it up. As hardcore as I can...as straight forward as I can. And so is she. So without further ado... here's some recent pictures of me...and then a comparison from a year ago to now. Wow alot's changed.

Crazy ain't it? So...use that last picture as my "Before picture" and I have 20 more to go ish. Hopefully you guys'll help keep both me AND the wife motivated.
