March 6, my birthday! 39 years young. And all I can think about today is the goal I set for myself a little over 6 months ago. 180 lbs by the time I hit 40. 6 months ago, it seemed that I had forever, now it seems so close!
I was over 300 lbs. That's what triggered my change in lifestyle. I'm now hovering around 260 lbs. 40 lbs lost in 6 months. Not bad, but not as extreme as I was planning. I'm keeping at it, and not getting frustrated.
Now, a little history of myself and my wife. We met on my 30th birthday at a beer festival in Boston. We were young and in the best shape of our lives. Earlier this week, we made a pact; we will celebrate my 40th birthday, our 10th anniversary of meeting, at the same beer festival next year. AND we will each weigh less than when we met. Here is a picture featured on Harpoon's website, only minutes after we met:
She is my greatest birthday present ever. We owe it to each other to get in better shape, for each other and for our two beautiful kids. I'm psyched to have a fabulous partner on my journey towards self improvement.
By the way, open invitation to St. Patties Day at Harpoon Brewery in March 2014!
Thanks for all the continued support and birthday wishes!
