So...I've been working out again at the gym, and I'm hoping that (combined with coaching volleyball, running every so often, playing volleyball or basketball or soccer, the odd game of tennis or round of golf, and drinking and eating less) will help me lose 10-20 pounds. I found a little scale that tells you how heavy you are supposed to be according to age and height and I am a good 15-20 over that weight. Of course, I haven't been that weight since before I started drinking in college about 7 or 8 years ago, but it sure is fun having a dream. Can't wait to squish it...although I have dropped 5 pounds already just cutting back on some foods and the beer and wine.

I even went to volleyball open gym at the high school my wife coaches for. There is no feeling like realizing that you are one of the best players in a gym full of teenage girls... That's right, not the best, but one of the best. At least I am stronger than them...:D Man I'm a pitiful out of shape piece of crap. Of course I did pound one straight down from the back row, through the block, and past their back row, but even after coaching our club team since December, I still haven't had enough practice and missed at least 4 or 5 hits. Maybe next week I will do better, since I should be able to school these little kids, even if some of them are on state caliber varsity teams....

Anyone else play volleyball round these parts, or any other sport you want to sound off about?
