Last August I set myself a goal to lose 50 pounds. It’s been challenging, but I finally accomplished it this weekend. Anne has been super supportive and I couldn’t have done it without her. I think Preston and Skyler are a little sad that their dad doesn’t have a fat belly anymore.

The weirdest part was realizing that I’d need a new wardrobe. I had to replace all my shirts and pants and I even ended up having to buy a new suit. I had to put three more notches in my belt but the good news is that my shoes should last a lot longer now. I walk a little funny and tend to wear the soles of my left shoes unevenly, but I suspect that won’t be as much of a problem now. My new goal is to maintain my weight and I’m grateful to say that I’m signing up through my employer for a race this summer that should keep me working hard on the treadmill. And now I’ve officially broken my arm patting myself on the back.
