Chef de Jour and An Older Me

So, I've been cooking a lot more - take a gander at these:
Sirloin Steak, Paprika Shrimp with a Lemon Aioli

Bacon Wrapped Rosemary Chicken

Teriyaki Chicken

Beef and Vegetable Stew
As you can see, I'm not too bad in the kitchen, so if you ever come over, I'll either fix you a wonderful dish, or get pizza.  I've been working a lot of my home cooking to help the family eat healthier and for Lyndsay and I to lose weight.  It's working.  Right now I am at my lowest weight in two years, which is awesome.  I keep thinking the scale is telling me a lie, but it keeps telling me it, and I want to believe it.

As the title implies, I am in fact older.  I mean I know that we are all older, and even now, well now, well forget it, I had a birthday.  I am now a whopping 32.  I am now the same age that Alexander the Great was when he died.  I haven't conquered most of the known world, so I better get on that.

It will be easy to do, when I'm dressed like this:

Happy Birthday to Me!

Another year has came and went and I'm a year older.

This past year has had a lot of ups, and even more downs. Fortunately, the ups were enough to make this year worth all the downs. There are personal things that I am not ready to discuss publicly yet, but let's say I'm lucky to be alive and leave it at that.

As I was swimming at my Mom & Dad's house yesterday at my party, I was once again struck with the fact that I had indeed gained too much weight. So with that in mind and the image of Hugh Jackman's body from The Wolverine, I'm upping my game. I have entered into a DietBet and will blow it out of the water. To win the bet, I must lose just under 9 pounds in 30 days. My personal goal (long term) is about 50 pounds gone, unless I gave muscle weight, then I am perfectly fine with the trade. First step is weight loss though. I'll be updating my blog and all my fitness apps regularly, and I have even thought more heavily about doing the video blog to track my feeling and progress during the journey.

What do you think?
