Them Heavy People

By them, I really mean me. Yes, I've fallen off the weight-loss wagon. Ever since my tummy troubles back at the beginning of the year, I've put on 10 pounds. I started feeling down and began again with the fries and sodas. So in an effort to get back in shape, to lose the weight, and to look good for the new man I'm seeing (great date last night, by the way; Chinese food, moonlit walk along the beach, and some nice together time). I would like to lose about 20 lbs. which would put me at about 185 lbs. According to some medical experts, that still makes me obese as my weight should be around 172 lbs. Um....That just seems unhealthy.

My goal: to look like Eric Evans.... Okay, that's not really going to happen, but I think it's a look to aim for. Those arms, that hairy chest, those abs -- what's not to like? He just oozes sexiness. (The sparse leather clothing, metal arm bands, dark sunglasses and scruffiness don't hurt, either.) So beginning tomorrow (because I've already strayed from the desired weight loss path today), I will cut out the fries and the sodas. I will return to my regular weekly workouts and add morning walks along the coast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I will use the stairs in my office building instead of the elevator. I will eat the foods that I should have been eating and not overindulge. I will cut back on the sweets which are prevalent in my office (evil vending machines!).

Goodbye to the belly pouring over my waist band! Goodbye to the lethargy and to the sluggishness! Goodbye to the feelings of not fitting in! Hello to the improved me!!
