What a Wonderful Weekend!!

Well, the workouts continue. I did not "technically" go to the gym and workout Saturday or Sunday. However, there is a valid explanation.

So, I was suppose to leave Chicago and come back to OKC Friday night at 7pm. We got to the airport and got through security and found out our flight was cancelled. So at this point our only option was to try and get on standby for 2:55pm Saturday or fly to Dallas tonight(firday) and fly to OKC in the morning. We choose to go to Dallas. HAHA...good choice.

We boarding the flight for Dallas around 6:30 or so. We taxied off towards the runway. About 30 minutes later the captian said that the flight had been delayed until 9:20pm. He said he was going to go back to the gate re-fuel and do all this other stuff. Well another 20-30 minutes when by (we are still on the plane!) and he came back and said that if we go back to the gate, then the flight would be cancelled. So we were just going to wait on the tarmac for 2+ hours until take off. At this point it is like 7:30ish. He then comes on and says that a bunch of flights to dallas have been cancelled so, it bumps our take off time to 8:15pm. We thinking that is good. So we are still waiting and then we start to move and a few minutes later he comes on there and says that our take off has been pushed back to 9:45 or something like that. Everyone on the plane is just going nuts at this point! He told us that we were going back to the gate to get more food and water and that an agent would come on board to talk to us. Well that happened and they said the flight was cancelled and told us to get of the plane. So....all in all....we sat on a plane for like 2 1/2 hours for nothing. Horrible organizational skills! We stayed the night at the Holiday Inn (on American Airlines tab) and were not able to get another flight until 7pm Saturday night.

Now, where is the excuse for the workout. We went to the museum of natural history in downtown chicago and walked like 5 miles, literally. We walked for 4 or 5 hours straight. So I burned some calories if you know what I mean! Plus, Sunday is my usual off day.

Anyways, as far as an update goes, I have lost 27 total pounds.

6:30pm + Airplane = No OU game

Ya know, sometimes I have to wonder to myself if life is really fair. Is it total coincidence or do the NCAA gods just hate me. How is it that they could happen to schedule the Syracuse vs. OU game at 6:30 tonight....which also just happens to be the same time I am boarding my plane to go back to OKC. It's just one of the most important games of the season! It's just not fair I tell you! Not fair!!

5:00 AM SUCKS!!

I usually have no problems getting out of bed, but today was not good. I have to rant a little bit. The Hotel that I stay at has these stupid old time steam heaters. Even when they are completely turned off they make all kinds of racket and it's terribly annoying. It woke me at 3:00am this morning....ahhhhh!! None the less the workouts continue....

The Weight Loss has begun!!!

So, this is my first blog...ever. A friend said I should start one to help with my weight loss journey. Yes, it is a journey, because I have a LONG way to go. So I figured he is right and I should start one.

So here's the jist of it. I'm huge and have finally realized that it's time to make a change. Most of my friends probably have no idea how much I actually weight. Either I disperse my weight fairly well, or people are just trying to be nice and not hurt my feelings. Well, I don't really care about feelings or what people think (or at least try not to). Anyways, my starting weight was 415 pounds and currently I am at about 395 or so.

My wife and I are doing this together and it would be difficult to do it along I'm sure. She is probably a little ahead of me as far a workouts are concerned, but I am getting there.

So, hopefully this will help keep me in the game and keep me motivated. Anyone who has any tips or advice feel free to drop a line. There will be more updates to come!
