Only 3 more pounds till my first picture update.

I know it has taken ridiculously long, but I pledge by next week I will be at my first "picture weight." If you dont remember, I plan on taking a picture every 10 pounds with that little Utah Utes shirt that I cant fit into. My starting weight was 272 and I weighed in this morning at 263. So when I lose 3 pounds this week we'll take my first update pic. I know it was only 2 pounds this week but thats better than a sharp stick in the eye right? So, I know this post is short but Im in a hurry and I promised to update every week.

Only 7 weeks until kickoff when my Utah Utes destroy those pansy Michigan Wolverines in the "big house"!!!!!! And Ill be there sucka!!!!!!

Current Ridiculous Weight=263

Weight Lost This Week=2 pounds

Total Lost=9 pounds

# of Pounds till goal=73

"Good afternoon, I am Jake Johnsen and I have a problem"...."Helllllooo Jake!"

Okay, well......Hi. It's been a while. I am currently contemplating the excuses I can use here. But then again, that has been the problem, I am always using excuses. I wanted to sayI have been in Kansas City for 2 weeks on my "KC BBQ tour 2008" and then in Florida for work and couple that with the fact that I was sick for a week and a half mixed in there. Those were the excuses I was going to use, but alas, I see my HUGE brother Josh losing 36 pounds over pretty much the same time frame as what I have been doing and I realize that doesn't cut it. I am letting my wife down here as I promised her I would do this(lose weight). So, Id like to apologize to all of my fans around the world and recommit to losing weight. I will update every week from here on no matter if I lose weight or not. I will. I will finally get this ridiculous obsticle out of my life for good so I can wear all my pimpin clothes. I will. I will do this because I am tired of worrying about my damn health every time I go to see my kidney doc. I will. I will not let food that I love(such as places pictured below) deter me anymore. Sorry baby, I will do it.

My new fav BBQ joint in SLC...Pats BBQ....Its the best!
