Old Fat Man

Here I am looking at a birthday, I will be 52 in 2 weeks, it is something that I had not envisioned when I was young. I thought that we might have a nuclear holocaust, then I started living a wild child life, anyways, had I known I was going to live this long I would have lived a healthier life. Well, it is what it is. So here I am, at 52(almost) yr old, weighing 279.6 and needing to make a few lifestyle changes.

We had a plumbing leak last week, where the water comes off the water meter a PVC fitting come unglued. Now this is usually not a big problem, you turn off the water to the house, you dig a hole, get the mud and water out, cut the old fittings off, slap on the new fittings, glue it up, wait a bit then slowly turn the water on. So I dig out some mud and use a hand pump to suck the water out and this is where things went south real quick, fat man issue #1, I would pump out the water and be so out of breath that by the time I caught my breath the hole had filled up with water from the surrounding area, (we had a record  1 day rainfall for the month of January). So then a dug the hole deep so that when the water filled it back up I still could work, now here is where fat man issue #2 is, I had to lay down to remove old stuff and was rolling around like a walrus, could not lay down on my belly because of the roundness, I had to do all the work on my side. Now at this point I made a plan to join Weight Watchers, I have lost weight 2 different times before at WW. So on the Monday, Jan. 30 2012 I joined for a third time.

I have been told by my heart doc that I need to lose weight as well as by several other folks in my life but it took a plumbing leak for me to do get with it. I made the plan and figured that if I paid $13 a week I might be able to stick with it, although I have a yearly membership at 24 hour fitness I never seem to have the time to get there. I weigh in on Monday nights and the first weigh in was 279.6 lbs
