The above pic is my friend Andy Evans and myself at the Young Professionals “Summer in the City” event that was held recently in Birmingham. Andy is the person that gave me the idea of creating a blog. Andy: Thank You. Also, Andy introduced my to his buddy Kevin Barberio. Kevin really helped me get started on this thing and now I have merged his ideas with other folks and my own ideas. Kevin: Thank You.

I am learning that once you get through the first three weeks of a “lifestyle change”, things get easier. I am really starting to enjoy exercise, and food is (right now) not an issue.

This Friday I will be attending a “Meet-Up” with Alabama Bloggers, a group of bloggers from (of course) Alabama. I am really excited. I will post pics on Friday, and I will also probably tweet during the meeting because I saw some pics from the last meeting, and apparently that’s the thing you’re supposed to do. I use twitter but I believe these folks are on another level. I will learn a lot on Friday.
