Working to Get in Shape

My ideal physical shape is 185 pounds and muscular. I know this, because on 2 seperate ocassions I have arrived there, and stayed there for a while (I think in 1998 and again in 2003). . . and I've felt great.

Here is a picture of me at that time:


But a love of (tasty and fattening) food and my life changing so that I can't get the physical activity that I honestly do love have knocked me from those great heights.

So right now, unfortunately, I am not muscular. And 203 pounds.

A recent picture:


But I want to be around for a very long time. And, I like having discipline in my life. And, honestly, my whole life just feels better when I'm at that ideal state (emotions and body and spirit and mind being connected and all). Plus, of course, who wants to be a chubby rock star? So last week we purchased an elliptical trainer, a machine that I love. And now when I indulge my love of Law and Order SVU I work out at the same time.

I've been doing it this whole last week, to very good sweaty heart quickening results. I'm on the path of health again.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Jason, the last time I was 200 pounds was my junior year of high school. I now weigh 613 pounds. And I haven't eaten dinner yet.

Incidentally, you wouldn't even guess from looking at my profile picture.

You aren't the only one. It's kind of a cool picture really, I think he is carving himself out of stone, the position of the chisel is, however, quite unfortunate.

Ian and Collin, shame shame. It's so difficult to be pure of heart among you scallions.

If I am not mistaken, a scallion is a type of small onion. Is that really what you meant to call us?
