Day 167 of 365 days.

I don’t really like making new years resolutions. I think the entire concept is silly. If I want to better myself, I just pick when I want to start and I do it. That said, I made a decision at the beginning of this month to seriously start getting back in shape. And it just so happened, that the beginning of this month was the beginning of the year. So. Oh well.

Anyway, I gave myself the ultimatum of losing 13 pounds this month. I mentioned on day 159 that I was halfway there. I also decided that I was going to gradually work my regular cardio up from 20 minutes to 60. Today I hit 50 min. on the elliptical (3.21 miles). I considered pushing it to get the other ten in, but decided that making myself throw up probably was the wrong track to go on. In any case, once I was done catching my breath and weighing in, I found that I weighed EXACTLY 175lbs. Which is exactly what my goal was.

Its not real. I was completely dehydrated and hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so I’m probably a bit over now, but I did hit my exact goal of 13 pounds, and I did it in 25 days.

That said, I’m still not particularly happy… My beer gut is considerably diminished but there are still a bit of love handles on the side. So maybe I’ll dump another 10 in the next month before I start working on the muscle sculpting.

On a bad note, I found out today that I didn’t get one of the jobs I was up for. Apparently I was the number one candidate until someone internal decided they wanted it. *sigh* You win some, you lose some. Oh well, that leaves me more time to keep working on my photography, and at least I look good, right? Well, better, anyway.

Hmm… I really wish I had bothered to shave my chest before I took this. Ugh… ok, enough bitching. I guess I’ll post this now.

    thank you all… I still think I’m fat, but it really helps to hear other people say I’m not. (i’m such a chick sometimes)

    @marli: lower calorie intake. Mostly protein. Lots of exercise (30-60 min a day of cardio)
