I hate watching sports. It's sad but true, take away my man card. Sure, if a bunch of people are watching I'll pay attention. I'll even read enough in the 5 newspapers we get at the office each day to discuss teams and stats competently, but that's it.

I've tried mens leagues for various sports, however, since I finished my playing days in college I haven't had the slightest tug to play team or competitive sports. So, really that narrows down my choices to how I'm gonna lose weight for this wedding. I can do cardio in the gym, free weights, run outside, rollerblade, swim, what am I missing? Hacky sack? Now I'm sure a bunch of you will have ideas and suggestions. Feel free to share, but make sure that I can do it during my lunch hour at work. Ice climbing? Out. Surfing? Out. Unless of course Universal wants to remake "The Eiger Sanction" or "The Endless Summer" on the backlot.

The good news is that, basically, heading into week three of the "Wedding Fitness Challenge"™ I've already lost 10 pounds. That's great. We haven't really changed our eating habits, I just eat less and work off more of the calories. Theoretically, come 8-8-8 I'll be down to next to nothing and I'll look like a british cocaine snorting model. Yeah me!

In all seriousness though, the plan thus far seems to be working

• Eat sensibly
• Eat less
• Exercise 30 minutes 3 times a week

Let's just hope I can keep this up. At least I have a goal.
