Overstacked Actor May 27, 2008

I am putting my official hat in the ring with the ragamuffin top….I will be on a mission to try and lose some weight over the next several weeks. 

Whether it was the inaugural trip to the pool this weekend or the little voice my scale made saying “YIKES” when I stepped on it this weekend; Jad realized that he needed to lose some weight.  Yesterday afternoon I weighed in at 201 lbs and my fighting weight is around 180-190.  Therefore, I’m officially overweight or “overstacked.”

I’m not going to do anything radical or crazy (like decide to run a marathon in 12 weeks!) but I will start out by actually using our gym membership and eating better.  For instance, one thing that I can try to cut out is taking the jar of peanut butter, getting a spoon and just digging in (sometimes adding frozen carmel hershey’s kisses). 

I do have a partner in crime so hopefully we can hold each other accountable.  I think the goal may be to be in good enough shape to run a 5K or two this fall. 

I hope to post in a week and give a good report.

I think 190 is as low as you should go until we have this baby. : ) You cannot get into the best shape of your life while I am putting on the pounds. Something about that is just not right.

Jad I am going to join you. Last year I got down to 230 and was feeling good. Now if I cross the street I am out of breath.
