At the beginning of 2008 I started a "Resolution Challenge", in which four people (Tow, Kristy Doug, and Myself) managed to all change our health and lives in a positive direction. It was pretty rewarding to see everyone do so well over the next 6-9 months. I personally started at 176.4 pounds and ended under 160. I was proud of myself.
Then I started my MBA. Now, after two years, I have finished my MBA and I am proud of myself again. Unfortunately the MBA did not come with some collateral damage as well - I managed to get fat too. On Monday I weighed in at 178.4. I'm now two years older and fatter (but smarter?) than ever.
Now, you all know me - so what do you think I am doing? Finding some mundane workout routine that will ease me back into things? Picking up some sports that I'll be "bad" at because of my shape, but shame me into working out more? (That's plausible, but no logical) Or starting a program that has kicked everyone's ass, and those I've talked to have yet to complete the whole program.
Oh you guessed it; it's the last one. I'm now an infomercial waiting to happen, P90X style. I'm two days in and my body *HATES* me, so I must be doing it right. As I stood in my living room at 5:15am this morning, jumping around the room like you can imagine a thirty year old white dude can do, I did question my sanity. Now with this blog, you can too.
If I was a true glutton for punishment I would share my MBA belly (as it affectionately is called) with everyone, but I'm showing a new level of restraint (lucky for you).

Depending upon your body constitution, you can also consider an eating plan that might support your goals. I am not talking about the infamous "Master Cleanse", but rather like, eating low carb or more high protein. I've been eating low carb and seeing the fat slowly (ever so slowly) melt away. I don't want the skin to start sagging (ewww). I don't subscribe to Atkins or South Beach, but no more than 45 carbs per meal, and 3 15 carb snacks throughout the day. :) Check out my blog sometime and maybe we can keep each other motivated! Who needs Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers! ;) LOLZ. Good luck.
