This past weekend was a lot of fun. I got a chance to play music with Matt and the guys (those being Josh and Clay). Playing some tunes with these guys is always lots of fun and I am constantly amazed how smoothly rehearsals go. I felt like the weak point for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that I just hadn’t made enough time for rehearsal. Nobody’s fault but mine. It’s definitely an area where I need some discipline and I am going to work on that.

Either way we get to do it all again in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to it already.

I’ve been very luke-warm about my weight loss for the last few months. Like too many method actors I am having trouble finding my motivation. My life is good: I’m happily married, got a great kid a job that allows me some flexibility and pays well. I don’t want to go into what exactly has motivated me, but I am suddenly much more concerned with my appearance despite the other good factors in my life. I think it comes down to discipline. I want to have the self-control it takes to drop the pounds and tone up. I don’t want to spend another vacation swimming in a t-shirt. I want to look good for my wife and I want my son to never be ashamed of his fat Dad.

How is that for being transparent?

Well, here nor there I want to get things under control.
