A year ago I turned 30 and signed up with 24 Hour Fitness with the desire of bettering myself. Unfortunately, I used my overzealous trainer, my addiction to World of Warcrack and stressful working conditions as excuses to resort back to my slothful lifestyle.
I figured my birthday was a good enough day to get back on the horse. My new TV has an auto on/off timer so I set it for 4:30am to get my ass up in time to work out before work. I got to the gym at 5am and walked the treadmill for 30 minutes covering 1.49 miles and burning 269 calories. Well, I guess I burned that much. When entering your stats the computer only goes up to 350 lbs. I wish I could get a more accurate measurement of my weight but the damn scales at the gym only go up to 399 lbs. Talk about depressing. But I won't let that get me down. They say it takes 30 days to create a habit. My intention... no, I WILL get up every morning and go to the gym. I don't care if it's a weekday or weekend, workday or day off.
Of course working out is only half the solution. I've also made a major lifestyle change and gave up drinking. For those who know me, beer is a passion of mine. Unfortunately, I fear my love for beer is causing me entirely more harm than good. I'm convinced that my vision is worse the day after I drink. Some days my sight is so bad that it makes it difficult to view my computer monitor at work.
I give everyone permission to kick me square in the ass if I fail to workout the day you see me. If you catch me eating something sweet like candy or cakes then I have to wash your car. If you see me drinking a beer then I'll have to clean your bathroom. If that's not incentive enough to stay on track then I don't know what is.
I wanna know therefore I go
