RockHauler Needs to Drop a Few Stone

Turning 40 late this Spring gets me thinking about a promise El Capitan and I made together about what to do when we are 80. And if I am gonna be able to get in and out of our "get away car" I need to start think about getting in shape. Well, actually getting in a different shape. Right now I am round, and "round ain't funny."

At 6'2 ish and 300 plus I just weigh too damn much. I am outta shape and get winded when I walk too far. I have always had a belly but even with it I used to be able to keep up with the "flat bellies" Not any more.

I was in Wal-Mart the other day and the Weekly World News promised I could loose all the weight I wanted without giving up any food and with out exercise. And another article talked about two hunters from Arkansas capturing Hitler on a recent deer hunting trip. Both are equally true.

I work a lot of hours so making time to get any exercise is not going to be easy. But coming up with excuses not to exercise seems fairly easy. I just need to start walking every day when I get home from work. As for eating, everything thing I eat I have to pick up. So I just need to be very careful what I pick up. My main issues are Dr. Pepper and just flat eating 2 or 3 times more of what ever there is than I need. Smaller plates and Diet Dr. Pepper will be a damn good start. That alone should cut my calorie intake by about 1000 to 2000 a day.

I need to weigh my self so I know where I am starting. Well gotta get back to work so more on this as things progress.
