I like... to spend time with my wife, Kathy, and daughter, Lauren. I just feel like somebody when I am with them.
I don't like... that I let myself get in the physical shape I am in.
I love... being a family man after I was a bachelor for so long. My wife and step daughter make my life complete.
I dream of... getting through this final year in undergrad school and getting on with law school, hopefully finishing in the top ten of my class.
I wonder... how I ever got so lucky as to marry Kathy. I don't deserve her, but I will take it!
I know... that above all else, I want to take care of my girls and give them the best me I can. That is the mission statement behind this journey.
I went... out on a hike today with Kathy and Lauren and they both loved it! I hope to see us hike a whole bunch more this fall.
I have... a drive and determination that I never had before to finish school, get healthy and be somebody that Kathy and Lauren are proud of.
I think... that the day I graduate with my bachelors may be one of the best days of my life, even knowing I will be graduation law school one day.
I plan... go to law school and finish top ten in the class, land a good job locally and build a career that will allow me to retire comfortably.
I regret... that I didn't have the direction I have now on getting in shape and getting thinner.
I do... have a ton more happiness in my life now that I deserve. God is good to me and I love Him for it!
I drink... a ton of water nowadays, which is great since I used to drink a gallon or better of Diet Moutain Dew before.
I wish... that all my overweight friends could get the aha moment I did, and join me in this awesome journey to health and fitness. It is the greatest trip ever!
I am... in a very good place in general in my life. I cannot think of one area of my life I am dissatisfied with right now.
I am not... going to give up on this transformation journey. I have come so far in such a short time and I only see good things happening from here to the maintenance phase.
I need... to guard against impatience and my inner child. They can both knock me for a loop sometimes.
I graduated... with an Associates Degree in May 2009, but that was only the first step on a long row to hoe.
I hope...that Kathy is ready for a tough time during my law school years. I try to remind her it is gonna be a bear, and I just hope she is going to be understanding.
I want... the very best life for Kathy and Lauren. I don't mean stuff, I mean for them to know I got them taken care of. That all the struggles and insecurity they have faced all their lives are over.
I sometimes... wonder what my life will be like in 5 years. I think alot about it and hope that I am doing all the right things to make great things happen for my family.
I always... get this happy heart feeling when I am driving home to Kathy and Lauren. I love that drive! It always makes a long or rough day just fade away when I walk in and my girls are here doing their thing!
I can... walk three miles pretty dang fast now!
I work...in a law office with the greatest attorney now! It is a recent move for me. I love the old law firm but I LOVE this one!
I cannot... afford to rest on my laurels. I have to keep moving ahead and making progress.
I avoid... complacency. It will get you in the end if you let it!
I will... continue to try hard and work my butt off to get where I am headed physically, family life, education and professionally.

Shane, I just wanted to say that I'm really, REALLY enjoying your blog. The upbeat, positive attitude you have is just addictive. I hope Kathy is catching some of your positive energy and is getting healthier too. Lauren is such a cutie pie. I'm looking forward to reading about you reaching all of your goals.

I love your determination to finish your undergraduate degree. I have NO doubt that you go onto law school and graduate top 10 in your class. Your family has so much to be proud of in you. You are a model and inspiration for many of us. One of my favorite liens above is this one: I wish... that all my overweight friends could get the aha moment I did, and join me in this awesome journey to health and fitness. It is the greatest trip ever! I agree. And honestly, at least for now, it is easier than I ever thought. What took me (us) so long (me way longer than you). I will steal those questions and post responses soon. Take care my blogger pal, Michele
