I like to blog about technical topics and community, not personal stuff. However, this is a community post. A number of active SQL Server DBA’s & Developers on Twitter have decided to make August a self-help, support-group month for eating well and being active, Active August. I’m taking part. I’ll be posting updates on my weight and general activity once a week.

Today, I start with a weight of 194.5.  I went to sword class this morning and spent almost three hours outside splitting wood (with a splitter, I don’t have to use the maul these days).
