180.0 I've fallen off the wagon, for sure, though fortunately my weight hasn't caught up with me yet. Work is fantastic, but also fantastically stressful, and when you're up at 3AM, it's hard to get up at 7AM to do a run.
That said, I'm going to try to get a run in tomorrow AM if i can.
I gain weight when I get lazy, both physically and also mentally. Physical laziness is just sitting around, but the mental laziness is when i'm just to stressed or distracted from my true goal, and suddenly i'm eating macaroni and cheese or a 3rd helping of potatoes.
Otherwise, life is good. Really good. You don't know pleasure until you're camping in the woods, and you're packed in your tent with your wife and kids, all snoring away under the stars. Kaya's in one of those cute periods, where she's asking questions and just absorbing new things around her, while Zadie's primary tasks now seem to be talking and singing.
Someone kick me in the ass to convince me to stop eating crap and get outdoors, will ya?

Doug-lets play soccer...although I can\'t for the next 3 weeks.
By the way, buy yourself a treadmill. It might give you some flexibility in when you can get that quick run in.
cosider yourself kicked in the ass. by the way stop offering the \"crap\" you don\'t want to eat to me:)
I just ran by your house tonight...i can run by and pick you up...well go around the brentwood country club...up to you...OR scott can get you out on sundays....
I\'m going camping this weekend! My girls absolutely love it. About the diet, if you beat yourself up, it will only be worse. Pin point the things that have gotten to you and eliminate them. Easy for me to say.....Lollie
I think you look great, but I am quite prejudiced. Anyway, eating junk is an inherited trait. It runs very deep in your family.
camping! i\'m so jelous..i live in wisconsin and it\'s snowing here..i\'ll take the junk food for you doug it\'s too cold to go outside and i need something to do*L*
I am a former junk food lover-now I tell myself it is poison-maybe if you look at cupcakes with an idea of a poison symbol on it, you might trick your mind into believing it???!! Good luck with the weight loss--I am in the same boat-just don\'t be too hard on yourself when you fail and go right back to it. Have fun camping & treasure these moments with the kids-they grow up wayyy too fast.
