The Plan


OK body, here is the plan. You are a fatty, but you like food. Understand that. You don't dislike exercise, but your generally fattiness makes it hurt to do much. You're out of shape, bastard you.

So here is the plan.

Eat less.
Run more.

No seriously, here is the plan.
1. Keep breakfast and lunch to under 300 calories most times.
2. Eat a sensible dinner as often as possible.
3. Get back on the 100 push-ups plan. This worked, while you did it. You were up to 40 before you quit last year.
4. Work up to running 1 mile. Run 1 mile as much as possible. Next year for multiple miles and better times. Baby steps.
5. When you don't want to run, get on the bike when you watch TV. Stop sitting on your fat ass.
6. When traveling, eat smart. Eating smart starts with ordering smart. Order the smaller cut. Order the strip not the ribeye. Well that's not going to happen. OK order the ribeye but get the veggies not the potato. No, don't get fried things. Bad stomach.
7. And most important, don't quit. So what you had a 3000 calorie day, they happen. Just move on and get back to plan. So what you didn't run for two weeks b/c of a blister. Get on the bike. Get to pushups. Get to it.
8. Rewards are small, but welcome. If I lose 5 lbs, have that sweet. Make it small, but scheduled rewards are a good thing. Improvised rewards for making it through the day, not so good.
9. Take a picture of yourself every day with a shirt off. Scary I know. But do it. You'll be glad in a year. Actually look at the pictures. Don't hide.

So here it is, day 1. I weigh 265 lbs.
Goal: weigh under 225 by Dec. 31st.

Any other suggestions?
