Got baptized today. I used the analogy of weight loss to our life in Christ. I said that the best diets are the one where the weight comes off gradually as we have a better chance of keeping it off. I think that God has been working on me gradually over the many years, and I thank Him for that. And I believe that has made all the difference in my staying close to Him.
Last night I chatted with my friend Jake from college. He was sorta our "trainer" in our friend group at Nyack, always encouraging us to exercise and showing us how to lift and train. He's gone on to work in Thailand as a teacher, and is studying for his PHD. He has run several Ironman triathlons and multiple marathons. He knows his stuff. He had some great advice and encouragement as we chatted last night. He pointed me to the Furman Training Programs. Probably just the programs I'm looking for.
And also this article on training for a triathlon.

About this Site
This is a blog to chronicle my weight loss to my ideal weight of 180 pounds. I also see it as a time to fundamentally change my lifestyle and how I view myself and my relationship to food and Jesus Christ. I see this time as a turn around...a 180 to make it to 180, in just over 180 days.
Yet, in doing so, it's my goal that every pound I lose for myself, will benefit others. Please consider sponsoring for every pound I lose, and every mile I run in a half-marathon on June 27, 2010, your pledge will go to the Kampala's Children's Centre in Kampala, Uganda.
