Day One - Why Me!

Blogging. Not sure I get it but here we go. I thought I'd jump into another one of those "new media" things I keep hearing about. I know, I'm late to the blog party. I guess I went backwards. First I tried Twitter. Last night I finally added myself to Facebook. Now blogging. Oh God what's next? I really hope its not my own porn site. Believe me, no one wants to see that, or me..naked..half naked..partially naked..ok fine, I need to remain in long pants, long sleeve shirt, sweater and duster so that I cover every part of my blanched, rotund self.

So why blog? I don't know. Thanks for coming!

No really, why blog? I guess to truly answer that question you need to know a little bit about me. I am a male in my mid 40's. Married, children, cats, dog, fish, good job, lousy commute, bald( been that since early 20's) and increasingly FAT.

Got on the scale yesterday and I am now the heaviest I have ever been. I am 6'3" and 228 lbs. Now some of you may say FAT? Come on! No really. I should be around 180 lbs so I thought I would start this blog as a way of "motivating" myself to drop those extra lbs. Nothing like advertising to the world your desires. Peer pressure is always a good motivator.

In addition to writing about my progress toward a more healthier me, I might also use this space to muse (read: rant) about things that are just swimming around in my cranium from time to time. Don't know exactly what those will be but there will probably be rantings, I mean musings, about bad drivers, jaywalkers, how bad the Redskins suck and of course fat people.

If you're the one person reading this, thanks for stopping by. Drop me an email at doug@dcfitness.com and let me know what you'd like to see me rant about.
