30lbs by 30th Birthday - An Introduction

189.9 (that whole day)

265

I’ll be 30 at the end of November - seems like a good deadline for weight loss. After the birth of my daughter (almost 4 years ago) I weighed in at 265 - a hefty honey for sure.  About a year later after some health issues, a better diet and more exercise I lost a TON of weight and was down to 189.9 at one point.  

242ish

I started a new job last year and gained just about all of it back. 

I’d like to be back at 200, but 43 by Thirty wasn't nearly as catchy.

I work full time, have two kids full time and have little babysitting help.  I've used that as an excuse to use the little free time I have either being lazy or drinking beer.  Did I mention I love beer? It's delicious.

Join me as I struggle a lot, fail sometimes and hopefully succeed in the end.  The journey is certain to be filled with sarcasm, too much beer and self-deprecating humor. 

Today the scale said 243.  This picture is not from today - but it's mostly what I look like and will have to do.
