The Mecca Of Bar-B-Que

on April 10th, 2008 by Rob

Weight- 245.5- I have officially challenged my friend Paul Daniel to loose some weight. He lives over in ATL so I have not really seen him lately, but will see him at the Alabama spring game in a week or so. We are planning on going over and meeting them at the Red Elephant Mecca of bar-b-que (Dreamland).

I really am a little nervous about that… Dreamland I mean… up until now this has been a fairly easy thing to do- that is decide where I want to eat and just make sure that it is not somewhere too bad. Well, the deal has changed, now I am going where everyone else wants to go and I just have to hope that they have chicken.

Anyway, Paul is always talking about loosing some weight, but I really don’t think he has that much to loose. I think he weighs about 225- not a huge deal. However, I have started to give him a hard time about soon weighing less than him.

April 2008

on April 3rd, 2008 by Beth

Well the baby is due June 11th, but my doctor has suggested that a C section will be the best option, based on my age, previous lost pregnancies, and having had a C section with Henry. So, it is scheduled for May 30th, and I will do all I can to make certain this one stays put until then. Although I realize that I have little control over what happens, I can do things like keeping stressors under control, eating right, and getting enough rest. Rob has been a big help with eating right, and getting enough sleep. I have to cook for Rob and that means watching the calories, fat, carbs etc. He is going to sleep early so he can get up at 4:30AM to workout, and I tend to follow his lead. Rob and his weight loss challenge has been such a great distraction, to keep me from being worried about myself and the pregnancy. The film crew wants to be there for the birth, but this requires my Doctors and the hospitals consent, so we will just have to wait and see

Out Of My Slump

on April 3rd, 2008 by Rob

Weight- 247.0- Well, I guess I have broken out of my slump. The other day my boss said that Jeff Francour couldn’t hit a stop sign with a baseball bat… that is how I was feeling. I had a 5 pound week. But, I look back and the last two weeks before that got me a long way. In other words, it adds up.

We went to the doctor the other day. Beth and baby are doing fine. Dr. Kimmel is so reassuring. Particularly in light of some of the difficulties that Beth and I have had. I have to tell you though; I have never doubted for a minute that it was God’s will for Beth and I to have another child. I think that Beth was a little closer to giving up than I was- a little closer than even she would admit to herself or anyone. I NEVER had a doubt that this was just one of those things that happens and that everything was going to be o.k.
