New Years Resolution

Okay, I know in an earlier post I mentioned that New Years resolutions are a personal thing. Well, I changed my mind.

My new year's resolution is pretty simple. Since the summer of '05, I've gained 30 pounds. That's right people in less than six months I've gained THIRTY L-B-S's. The reason for this substantial weight gain can be pretty easily pin-pointed. It is quite obviously do to my excessive binge drinking and my lack of any physical activity. With this in mind it was time to do some soul searching. I'm a big fan of my decadent and drunken lifestyle. I am not, however, a fan of my engorged beer belly. So, this is the solution I've come up with. For every month in the year of 2006 I will add on to my everyday routine a new healthy habit. In doing so, halfway through the month I will report my progress, right here, to my faithful and lovely readers. So, without futher ado, here is my new habit for January.

Going to the gym. That's right, I said it. It's a big step, I know. A drastic change in lifestyle needed to jump start my system. Quitting drinking was out of the question so the only possible way to drink comparably to my drunken and delightful past is to nip the inactivity in the bud. I'm not really ambitious with this one. It sucks. I just got back from the gym now actually and am quite sore. My goal here is not to become the next Arnold Schwarzenager(I dont' know if that's spelt correctly and, quite frankly, I don't care). My goal is just to lose the excess weight. I feel like a solid exercise program combined with eventual healthier eating habits, my weight will subside. Below are two pictures of me. One is from April of 2005. The other is right before the ball dropped and rang in 2006.




As you can see, there is a slight difference in these pictures. The difference is my engorged belly. What is not visible is the loss of definition in my arms as well. You can also notice that my face was slimmer in the April '05 pic. Well, I'm not going to bother you with symantec's. I don't even know if that's the proper word but I'm going with it.

In conclusion, I've embarked on my journey and I'll be updating once a month about it. Any one who wants to join me in my task to live a slightly healthier lifestyle and wants to attend the gym with me, they are more than welcome. Believe it or not, I did used to lift and play sports so I have some knowledge around gym equipment. Well wishes are always welcome too.

Gotti boy post either tomorrow or wednesday so be excited.

Peace and <3,
A slimming Will-miester
