"Do you want to be old and fat or old and fit?..."

...says my wife to me one day without an ounce of malice or loathing in her voice, just a simple question.  At the time I was throwing back a Safari Bar ... but realized suddenly in the midst of my thorough enjoyment of empty calories... that she was right.  Though I noticed I didn't get an option on getting old.  And since the afore mentioned age train is rolling rolling rolling down the track somewhat out of control, the only thing I can change it seems is the cargo that's loaded up... and up till now the cargo has born a striking resemblance to everything you can buy at the checkout counter... 

So a few days ago, when I was ready to actually do something about it a good friend of mine at Ground Zero Cross Fit in Norman Oklahoma suggested that I try the Whole 30.  In short it's a purge diet that can help "slay your sugar dragons."  I can eat meat, veggies, fruit, nuts, and coffee. Ok coffee wasn't specifically mentioned, however... I noted with interest that it wasn't forbidden.  If it had been, would I be posting this?

So here I go... thirty days... what's it gonna to be... Fit or Fat?  We shall see.
