Day 1 of a NEW LIFE.

Nov 07, 2008 07:14

Hello everyone.

I haven't posted on livejournal in quite some time. I guess I've been pretty busy. But, in light of some new developments in my mind, I have decided to start blogging here on a DAILY basis.

The reason why I am going to blog every day is because I have a new challenge in my life. I've decided to finally take hold of my weight problem in my life. I am going to start taking pictures of myself daily, and do a weekly video blog on youtube to hold myself accountable for my own progress.

For those of you whom do not know what I'm talking about...that's because I haven't told anyone that I am doing this. I woke up today and looked at myself in the mirror and felt inspired to change my life. I feel good on the inside and I would love to feel like a rock star on the outside. For the past several years, I have been struggling with my weight. I gained weight, lost weight..lost a lot of weight, then gained it all back and packed on a few more pounds. I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. A lot of you are mostly in shape and in the weight region they need to be in the be healthy and not overweight. YOU ALL are my inspiration as well. You all inspire me to be healthier, at least in the weight department.

This isn't just a solution to change the way I look and how I weight, but it's also a solution to some things missing in my life. Being overweight has had a lot to do with how I feel emotionally. It's put a big weight (no pun intended) on my shoulders and has driven me further and further into a depressive state. With being over weight, not having a job, not having a driver's license, or a place of my own, I've decided to start on a new track in my life. Eat healthy EVERYDAY, not just when I feel like I should. Work out everyday. Cardio one day, weight training the next. On this new track, I am hoping to feel better about myself, look for a new job, work towards getting my driver's license and also eventually a home of my own..or fixing up this place and making it that home it's never been.

I'm ready for this change in my life. Obama has been elected, and change will occur in America. A change that we've needed for a long time. I won't go into politics because that's not what this is about. But, thank you all for reading, and please show your support. I am here doing this by myself and if anyone has any tips for working out, or what i can do to make things work better during this phase of my life, please to comment on this entry. Luckily, I have a treadmill, a bike machine, a total gym, and weights to actually make this dream become a reality.

Good morning and good night everyone. The next time I blog will be tomorrow, writing my thoughts of working out keeping my life healthy. I am ACCOUNTABLE for my own actions.
