OK, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit!! You mean to tell me that you wear a size 30 pant??
That's just wrong? How could you let yourself get into that shape? Have you consulted a bulemia specialist?!?!

Of course, I'm kidding. I'm just jealous. I have dropped 15 pounds and gone from size 40 to size 38 in the past 30 days. I've eaten so much tuna that every time I pass a water puddle, I have an urge to jump in. the other night, I dreamed I was in a can...LOL

Unfortunately, given my long commute to work, I don't have time to go to a gym. It puts me home too late to go to one where I work, and I'm pushing closing time by the time I get home. I have, however, just implemeted a running plan. I run, and by run I mean walk, at lunch when I can, or around my neighborhood once my kids go to bed.

Physically, I am feeling better, and my Diabetes is almost under control without medication. What I have noticed, and concentrated on, is my balance. Two rounds ago, I overheard a much better golfer than myself tell another player that hissecret was to always swing within his balance. This is my new "swing thought." Just before I aproach my ball, my thought is balance. With this, I ahve reduced my effort, but improved my distance. Everyone around here charges for swing speed analysis, so I do not know what my baseline was for a swing. WhatI do know is that I am hitting shorter irons into the green on Par 4's.

I applaud everyone for their efforts to improve, not only their games, but their health. Who knows, maybe I'll get to a size 30 pant. Shoot, if I hit 36 I'm throwing a ******* party!!!
