I am 29 years old right now.

When I was married I was 26 years old.

I weighed 145 pounds and I could run 3 miles without blinking.

After getting married I gained 15 pounds. That put me at 160 pounds.
After Isaiah was born I gained 15 pounds. That put me at 175 pounds.

I did a Tri in June and afterwards I weighed about 170 pounds.

My "healthy" Body Mass Index for my height, 5'7" is 24. That means I should be at 153 pounds.

I implemented a plan to lose weight incrementally for 8 months so I could get to my healthy BMI weight. This plan went into effect July 2nd. Since then, I've gained 7 pounds.

I'm at 177 now.

We could talk about planning and self discipline and focus and follow through. Exercise and eating right.

But instead let's talk about donuts.

Donuts are like movies, if someone doesn't like the ones you like, they're basically morons.

Which brings us to my absolute truth statement.

The greatest donut in the universe is: Boston Kreme (Dunkin' Donuts)

If you disagree, you can count back three sentences and ponder my perception of thou.

Boston Kreme! The ultimate donut!

I wonder to what extent my affinity for Boston Kreme donuts plays into the failure of my plan.

That's the funny thing about donuts you love.

It's like.... MMMMmmmm.... Whatever!
