#100DaysOfScouting, Day 99

OK, so almost everyone else has finished up their #100 Days, but I started late, so I will finish a couple days after everyone else.

Today, the #ScoutNationFitClub morphed into the #100DaysStrong…not that it matters, but it seems that some scouters from Twitter-land have decided that Dunlops should no longer be a part of the adult uniform.

What’s a Dunlop? Your belly dun-lops over your belt…or as my sicko uncle used to say, “a shed for his tool”…gut, bell-ay, spare tire…what ever you want to call it, we just figured that it’s time to hold the ‘physically strong’ part of the scout law to a little higher degree…kind of hard to preach health and fitness to our units when the leaders wear XL, XXL, XXXL or even larger adult uniforms.

So, with my second to final post, I thought I would comment on it. I have been in the SNFC (#ScoutNationFitClub) for the last 4 weeks, and to date, I have lost 15 pounds, lost a couple inches around my waist and feel a heck of a lot better.

I do miss the fried foods, the sugars, and the other tasty things…doughnuts, pancakes, and pizza. Soda, chocolate milk and beer are no-no’s now, but for the good of my family, for the good of my body, and for the good of my scouts, it’s the sacrifices that I must make to:
1. Get in good physical shape…yes, round is a shape, but not a good one for a human body
2. Have healthier eating habits…a double cheese burger is OK on occasion…3 isn’t, washed down with a soda and fries.
3. Set an example for my family, friends and scouts…nuff said
4.  Do the things that I want to do MORE of…hike, camp, canoe…
5. Do the things that I have never done…rock climbing, higher adventure

These are just some of the things that I want to accomplish…

I also want to be able to walk into a store and buy whatever I want off the rack…I don’t know who the S.O.B. is who designs clothing for “fat guys”, but guess what…we don’t all like the Hawaiian or Flame button-down shirts.
