Jake had a really good idea...dagnabbit.
(I want to formally apologize for the potty talk but it seems that you aren't taken seriously as a writer unless you talk trash. It also might help with my street-cred to mix it up a bit linguistically speaking. Ya Feel Me!?)
Jake's idea,
"Hey dad, why don't we take lots of pictures to show the changes we're going through while doing this!"
Uh, yeah, that is a good idea Jake. The only problem...there would be photographic proof that I am a big fat guy. I can see it now. He gets out the GoPro and does some sort of time lapse trick to make it into a movie. Then there would be the YouTube thing. Millions of views, words like viral and amazing transformation, and labels that say "See what happens in six months with a dad and his son." As a card carrying introvert, that makes me nervous as heck.
Am I thinking there will be changes? Yes
Do I think the transformation will happen? Of course
Am I ready to help one of my children do something they want to do? Naturally
Do I really want a bunch of "BEFORE" pictures floating around in cyberspace? Not so much
I think I will compromise and get a few face pictures onto here. I want to be sure to have something to compare myself to...other than the body fat analysis sheet that rivals a kielbasa...so I will let a few be taken. Jake is wanting to build himself up for this and, since he already has a head start, he'll probably end up with a six pack and big beefy legs.
I haven't completely forbidden the idea of taking pics. I just have to warm up to it.
Maybe I'll puff out my cheeks and pretend that I am puffing out my belly (or better still have a Santa costume casually laying in the background so people think I just got done being the Jolly old elf and forgot to take out the pillow!) Yup, I have a plan. We'll see if it matches the kid's plan though.
OK, I am off to bed so I can get up and get back to training tomorrow. Being sick has made it remarkably easy to sit around. (The fact that doing a few dishes was enough to make me need to sit and rest helped too)
Hopefully I won't have any other challenges at least for a while. Although I have had shingles a number of times and my back on the right side is annoyingly hurting like the start of another outbreak. Whoever says things like, "Once you get shingles you can never get them again." runs the risk of being punched in the head.
Anyway, I want to get some shuteye so my body can reset.
