As most of you know, I have a little one in my life now.  I'm still trying to adjust to everything.  Seems wierd to be responsible for the care and well being of someone else.  Everything I do will in a way reflect how she turns out.  Pretty scary.  However, its been so much fun and its only been 2 weeks.  I can see so many of my features in her and I know she's going to have a blast growing up.  I'm biased but she's the cutest little thing.  We've had so much support from family and friends and we're so blessed to have such loving/caring people around us.  It's definitely help ease the transition.  We've had tons of visits and gifts, its amazing!  Uncle Kyto is going to be her favorite.  I am officially a dad and love it!

Some of you know I made a personal commitment to get in shape and fit this year.  I wanted to do it because I wanted to promote healthy living in my family and lead by example.  I'm not really the type to be the "do as I say, not as I do" guy.  Instead of approaching it as a diet, I'm taking the lifestyle change approach.  We've changed the way we shop for food and what we prepare for dinner.  If we don't buy junk food in the first place, then we won't eat it.  I started my challenge on January 9 at 204 lbs and as of March 9, I was at 187.  Scale weight isn't really what I'm after, its shedding fat.  However, my bodyfat % was pretty high when I started so I estimated i'd have to get down to 150ish to get to <10%.  I think I shot a little low at first and now I think I'll only have to go to 160/165.  You guys know I like to document everything I do so here are some progress pics from Day 1/Week 4/Week 8:

    

I still got a long way to go but I definitely see improvement.  I lost the fat rolls on my back and I'm leaning out.  The man boobs are starting to go away too!  If I keep it up, I should be close to where I want to be by end of June.  Wish me luck!
