The Sackrider Slimdown Begins!

OK, yesterday was the first offical day of The Sackrider Slimdown!  Dad, Dianne, and Stephanie are joining me, although, I’m certian I’m the only one brave enough to post my weight right here online.  I will weight in every Wednesday moring, and post my weight, as well as my eating habits and my exercise routines.  Maybe this psudo-accountability will help me to bring off the pounds.

Now because I want the thousands of readers out there (harharhar) to quickly see my weekly results, I’m going to create a new page and link it up top.  That way, it won’t get lost in my other posts about life, ministry, and family.  Feel free to comment on any of my posts – any words of encouragement are welcomed!

10 year reunion, 300lbs!

I have 12 weeks until my 10 year class reunion.  I weight somewhere around 300 lbs today (offical weight will be posted when the plan begins).  I want to lose 100lbs, BUT not in 12 weeks.  If I lose two to three pounds a week for 12 weeks, I should be 24 to 36 pounds lighter, or somewhere between 276 and 264lbs.

Celebrating Our Independence…

Independence Day

Fourth of July is here again, and we take a day to celebrate our nation’s birth.  As I consider our Nation’s ‘Independence’, I find myself focused on our individual struggles for independence.  My pastor ministered this Sunday about community in our churches, and about reconnecting.  But in America, we don’t want to reconnect; we want to be self-sufficient. We do not want to ‘need’ anyone.  When we are young, we want to be older so we can do things for ourselves, and when we grow old, we do not want to be a ‘burden’ on anyone.  We want to be independent.  It has been said that no man is an island, but if we could find a way, we would change that in America…
