A New Begining Starting Weight 362.1

So I am back. This has been a great few months of eating since I stoped writing on the blog in May. I ate alot of fast food, full strength soda and and did I mention soda. I think I have a little problem. On our recent cruise to Mexico I think that they lost money on me when it came to my soda card. I cost $48 dollars for the 8 days. I got my money worth. The guys at the bar got tired of seeing me every few minutes or so. I am happy to report that I have put back all the weight that I had removed at the beginning of 2008. I think I even added a little more. You can never say I am not a giver. Any way sorry for the let down of the previous year. I am going to try and try and try again. A little back ground on the picture, when we got to Cobo it was so hot and so alot of the other nice looking gentleman had there shirts off so I thought why not. I think I brought it.

P.S. The picture at the top of my blog is dedicated to my mother-in-law. I knew she would want to see it every time she came to my blog.

These are some of the things that I will be doing this year to stay in shape.
