Operation “Ditch the Bag of Cement” begins today
After a year of sitting around doing nothing but suffering from the side effects (flu like) of 48 weeks of my HCV treatment I have acquired an embarrassing bag of cement around the middle of my torso 
‘er I should just say it – I am fat! Today marks the beginning of a mission: “Operation BeFit” or as the title of the post says “Operation Ditch the Bag of Cement.”
I weigh in at an totally embarrassing weight of 257 pounds. My goal is 205 by year end and <225 by summer camp in July. I am off to a good start, walked on the treadmill this morning for 30 minutes for a distance of 1.5 miles. It is a start. May I a year from now look like I did in 2004 as the picture with my daughter Hannah on the left reveals.
Day 2 – 30:55 minutes; 1.5 mile; 254 calories – the start continues… phew.
Another goal is to hit 300 calories burned per day – however long or much time it takes. I just have to do this to keep up with all the juniors and teens at summer camp this year. Counselors, well I could whup them fat!
‘Cept for a certain person from Calvary Heights Baptist Church from whom my shoulder still hurts a couple years later.
