The reason i've decided to start this little venture is two fold. 1) To keep myself in check when it comes to dieting and weight loss 2) and to share what i've learned through out this process with other people out there just like me.
The experiment: To find out what works and what doesn't work when it comes to getting down to my goal weight. I'm going to try all of the fad diets, the craziest workouts, and even visualization to see what is the most effective. Since i'm only one person and not totally insane, some of my friends have agreed to join in the festivities as well.
How many people can really honestly look at themselves naked in a mirror and not find something they don't like, something they wish could be different, or love handles they wish weren't there? How many people joined a gym and stopped going after 2 weeks? How many people made a New Years resolution and it only lasted 2 days or until the next beer? How many people vowed to eat healthier and find themselves in a McDonald's drive thru 5 minutes later? How many people order an appetizer, a pasta dinner, a chocolate Oreo cheesecake and a Diet Coke?! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVEN'T FINISHED ANY DIET OR EXERCISE THEY HAVE EVER STARTED?!?!?!
I know i've been guilty of the infamous phrase "I'll start on Monday." Everybody has probably said this at some point regarding something. But why is it that we would choose to keep putting off something that will eventually in the long run make us happy about the way we look and feel about ourselves?
Today is Thursday and it's almost over because I procrastinated and used the excuse of "I had a long day at work so I don't feel like working out." This kind of attitude also doesn't work. However on the plus side I FINALLY got in my first post and vow to post every day until I get to the bottom of why we do those silly things we do.
