Last night I played DDR for the first time in ages. Felt pretty good about it, even though I was tired after a half hour. The game said I burned 400 calories.

Today I'll probably play with my kids a bit at practice. Both of my middles will be absent, and I really like playing middle. I want to scrimmage the 18's and kick their ass. That would be fun. Most people are surprised to find out that I have a 30" vertical. My arms might be scrawny, but I've always had insane leg strength. Chalk it up to cycling in high school.

I need to find the motivation to get back to exercise some more. About a year and a half ago I dropped about 16 pounds, one or so a week, mostly by just watching what I eat, but also by exercising a few times a week.

I'd still like to lose a little more. I mean, I fit into 38" pants, with a belt, but 36" is a little too snug. The college drinking trophy still interferes a little, and I'm sure that will be harder to get rid of as I get older.
