Tomorrow is my first moment of truth; my first official weekly weigh-in. I have found the Calorie King concept to be the easiest "program" I have ever tried. The snacks keep the munchies at bay and the recording is simple and fun. Like I said in a previous post, it is like a slow moving video game where I have total control over the score. Pretty cool.

My long term goal is to drop sufficient weight before I retire so I'll have energy to get my house fixed up and ready to sell so I can settle in southeastern Michigan. The house does not need much, just a bunch of standard cosmetic stuff but it is time consuming and I'll need about a year to get it all done. I retire in just over 30 months. Do the math. Once I retire, I refuse to be held captive bu a TV and a couch. I need to keep moving and I want to be able to stroll along the riverbank and row my boat out onto the lake to fish and just relax in the open air. I also want to be able to take my wife and camera on rowing tours of my favorite lakes and streams.

That is my dream, that is my goal, that is where I will be.
