Last week I went shopping with Eagle, he is the older brother of my brother in law. After going to two stores and getting groceries, we went to a restaurant where he bought me a sandwich. We ate in the car, and I inadvertently dropped half of my sandwich on the floor board.

Eagle commented on how I struggled to reach down and grab it because of my immense belly. Looking back, I can see that I need to lose a lot of weight, at least a hundred pounds.

I weighed in the high 280s in early March of this year, and I went up to 300 in mid April. This morning, I was 294.8 pounds, so I’m making progress in the right direction.

I’ve been lifting weights, mainly training biceps one day and shoulders the next. I forgot to mention that I ordered six 2.5 pound plates for my dumbbells, so I can train shoulders with 23.6 pounds on each side. I’ve also made personal records with biceps, curling 35 and 40 pounds on each dumbbell.
