Ever since high school, I’ve been hip to the health scene. I’m familiar with the rules that insure a healthy life: eating the right foods, exercising regularly and burning more calories than I ingest are crucial to successful living.
Since high school, however, I have avoided these rules like the plague. Nothing turns my buttons like a fifteen thousand calorie day packed full of stuffing my fat face at a buffet or drinking my way through a suitcase of beer. It pains me to think that these days of extravagant indulgence are over. I have neglected my body too long. As a result of my willie-nilly relationship with exercising and dieting, my heart hurts.
So, starting today, I have decided to adhere to a lifestyle change: a specific diet of no more than 2500 calories a day combined with regular exercise, lots of water and a daily vitamin. I am tracking my calorie intake at www.my-calorie-counter.com. Right now, I’m a flabby 221 pounds…I’d like to weigh less (somewhere around 185). My BMI is somewhere between “ech” and “fatty”. I’d like to maintain this plan for six months or until it becomes habitual. I made a chart with my wife to help track progress and plan out meals.
I have a gym membership that has been collecting dust for months. I will work out at least three times a week for at least 45 minutes per time. I’m ready, I’m able and I’m willing. Here we go! It’s time to kick start this bitch!

Your side is cut off for your privacy and to increase the element of mystery. Thanks for the compliment!
Best Idea ever! You are soooooo smart! But…How come my side is cut off?
It is true…visualization is a powerful tool. Only by having dreams can we achieve them. I just made that up. Good for me.
I love your poster board! I just read this…”Just imagining yourself pumping iron is better than nothing, according to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation study, for 15 minutes a day, five days a week, volunteers imagined exersicing certain muscles as vigorously as they could. After 12 weeks, the muscles had strengthened by as much as 15 percent. How? Visialization may send singals from the brain to the neurons controlling movement; the strong the single, the stronger the muscles. The heart benefit: When your muscles are mighty, your heart rate and blood pressure are less likely to rise when demands on your ticker increase.” Somehow, I think working out is easier that working those muscles with your mind!
