Well look at that they don't just delete these things after years of neglect! I think that I will try again to start using a blog. I have had people ask me why I stopped and I really couldn't tell them why. Probably because only 6 of my friends read this. Well those 6 seem to like my blabbering on here so I guess I can try and type my thoughts when they hit me. I am a little more outspoken on here than one on one I guess. Well maybe not one on one but I am opinionated in both situations on here I try and class it up a little bit. HA. So if you don't like me when I get rolling in person here's a fine substitute.
Today I was hit with a realization that still makes my head spin. For the people that may accidentally end up here reading my thoughts I will have to bring you up to speed. My beautiful wife and I are expecting our first baby. His name is Adrian Gene Russell and he is already our whole world. Yes even though he can only kick me through my wife's belly he is loved and adored by two pretty awesome parents. ( tooting my own awesomeness horn a little here) For those of you who have had kids or are going to have kids in the future nine months seems like for ever but let me assure you they fly by! We are down to two and a half months left and I can't wait. Today I was sitting at my desk at work reading about week 29 and realized that we only have 11 weeks until he is here! I teared up a little thinking about holding him for the first time and pretty much planned out his whole life with his mother and I. When I thought about how active my friends kids are I got checked a little. I am WAYYYYYY out of shape. Well I would make an excellent water balloon shape but I need to drop some weight and now. I realized that I am slowly killing my self and I remember growing up without a father and realized how selfish I am being by eating any thing and everything I can fit in my mouth. My actions and lack of self control are costing not only me now but my wife and my little boy. How big of a douche am I that I care more about how cookies or peanut butter tastes than the moments I am costing myself with my son. Talk about a wake up call!! Turns out I can ignore doctors, God and my wife but when thinking about my son I get some renewed motivation.
I am a firm believer that God can do anything except make my fat ass get off the couch but I would still like to ask that my friends and family keep me in there prayers. Even if it is just God get that fatty out of the house. Maybe nicer though not sure how God takes prayers. I wanted to just let all six of you out there know what was on my mind. There are a lot of new things coming into my life and I can't wait to start me new life with my son healthier and ready to treasure every experience that I share with him and my wife.

Good read! It's amazing what kids will do to us, huh?
Wow Andrew, I didn't even know you had a blog! I can't even imagine what it's like right now for you, with only a couple short months until the newest addition to the Russel family arrives. You and Marilyn are going to be great parents!
On the other subject (gym and diet), in my experience, big changes are the result of consistency, frequency, and intensity. Small, progressive, incremental changes add up in a short time when consistency, frequency, and intensity are applied.
You can do this.
Dude...that's awesomeness!!
