Weight Loss

So about a week before camp I told Heidi that I wanted to start exercising more and watching what I eat. No more extra helpings or super sizing anything. It an attempt to remain accountable to people I know I thought I might update my progress. At the start of camp I weighed 245lbs which is not all that out of line when you consider my genetic background. If you take my dad, all his brothers, my brother and I, we could be the starting line for an arena football team. That being said, the genetics excuse only goes so far. Since camp I have acquired a bike, continued to play softball and I haven't had any fast food for almost three weeks. This has resulted in significant weight loss. I am down to 232 lbs. I know camp had a lot to do with this since you walk everywhere for a week, but hey, its a start. The real challenge is keeping it off and continuing the exercise. Anyway, that's where I stand, time to go mow the grass before it gets to be 90 degrees.

Well, it's all over now.

All the planning, all the emails and all the phone calls paid off. It was a fantastic week of camp. The weather was great, the campers were great and the staff were all hard working servants of God. They are all truly God's camp people.

I have never been so honored as I was Friday night when Curt gave me the lanyard made by Ernest Thigpen with the gold plated whistle. I was told to be prepared to be blown away. Curt once again went above the call of duty and emotionally knocked me over. Wow.

I wanted to take a moment and personally thank a few specific people as well.

David Kelly, without you I would be in trouble. You are the man. Word!

Tommy Brown, If you weren't at camp I would cancel it. Word!

Becky Brown, the unofficial Office Manager at camp. For those of you who have never got to work with Becky, you have no idea how much works she actually does for camp.

Stephen Mynier, one word describes you. Dedication.

Larry Salley, you did a fantastic job with the education program. Your an all-star!

Mike Darling, Thanks for stepping up, I am looking forward to several years of working with you man

Mike Polutta (or is it Michale?) Thanks for the years of service. You truly have the spirit for worship.

Curt Harbuck, the internet couldn't hold all the info I could type about you. Thanks for all you have done over the years.

Thanks to all the staff who participated in Superweek! Because you were there God was able to do all he wanted to do. You are all very special to me. There are already some ideas floating around for next year. If you have one, send it to me. With this staff we can accomplish anything.

In Him,

Danny

P.S. I forgot to thank Lauren Schimizze who has a veritable shopping list full of interesting sayings. Congratulations on becoming a Senior Camper. :)
