Taking Control

I have decided it is finally time to start taking control of my life. What do I mean by this? I mean it's time to get myself healthy and start my own "Project Goddess". I'm tired of being the size I am. I'm tired of not being comfortable in my skin. I'm tired of being unhealthy. I'm tired of not liking what I see in the mirror. Let's face it, I'm tired! (It's not a good day until you can throw in a Blazing Saddles reference!)

I am 29 years old and this is the time to do it. It's time to take control and make a change. It's time to get in shape NOW!! It's time to regain control over my life and make it what I want. It's time to put aside any chances of getting diabetes one day. It's time to realize that I need to be more careful than others about being healthy considering I lost both of my parents to cancer. Most of all, it's time to start liking what I see looking back at me. I've been doing a lot of work on the inside, now it's time to extend that to the outside.

With that in mind, I finally got my butt out of bed the past two days and hit the gym. I'm also trying to clean up my dietary habits. It's a long road and I know it isn't easy, but when it all comes down to it, it's about being in charge of my own destiny. That thought makes it a bit more manageable somehow.

The current goal - by my 30th birthday I want to be at least 50lbs lighter than I am now. That's 7 months from now. Will I get there? May be hard to tell since I don't really weigh myself. I tend to go on how clothes fit and what I see in a mirror. However, I know what I weigh now and I think on my birthday I'll weigh myself again. Then follow it by a celebratory bottle of single malt that is older than I am. Hehehehehehe.

So yeah, that's the plan. If you see me stuffing something in my face I shouldn't, please remind me I need to stop and think first. Sometimes we all need a little help. :-)
