About Me

I like good food and I can not lie. I also like saving money and rattling those pots and pans. Mostly, nobody gets hurt.

Welcome to "The Biggest Fathlete"!

OK, here's the situation. My parents went away on a week's vacation and...they left the keys to the brand new Porche.

Sorry. Fresh Prince interlude. The real deal is that I declared in my last post that I have a bridesmaid dress to look hot in, and I've been sleeping on this here weight plateau for too long.

So we're stepping it up, with more workouts, less food and some accountability. And that's where you, gentle Fathlete reader, come in. I was inspired by my friend, Bride-To-Be-Kiki, and her astonishing weight loss, as well as the formerly rotund folks on "The Biggest Loser." Of course, those people were way obese and have been working out like it's their full-time job with a million dollars on the line.

All I have is my dignity and my vanity, and my health. So every week, I'm gonna take a picture of myself in this tank, that I bought when a sleeker and younger me finished the Baltimore Marathon in 2005, and some sort of running short/skort/skirt. I won't be telling you my weight, because I don't want to, and because nobody's giving me a million dollars to do so.

We're gonna do this together. Because what would we do, babies, without us? Sha-la-la-la!

Weight doesn't necessarily tell much anyways. I've been the same weight for years, health or unhealthy.

Kim's getting married? That's so exciting!

Yes! She's marrying a nice former Marine from Syracuse and she's moved back north! Very, very proud of her. How are you, my friend?

Doing OK. Interning for a radio show and doing web stuff for another show. Doing better than most people I suppose.
