New Years Resolutions??

Its February now...who is still actually following through with thier resolutions?? No one? Just me?

I had a whole list of trivial shit I wanted to 'do' this year. From actually giving up beer (gluton) to not drinking during the week to not putting up with bullshit from guys to finding Jack a new home and finally to get HEALTHY! Well, I think Im making some serious progress! I have not had gluton (beer, any small 'cheats' that I have been having) Since January. I found Jack an amazing new home and my carpet (and nerves!!) thank me. I cut back on alcohol, only once a week (soon to be never, but come on, thats a hard one to just DROP!) and I have lost 7 pounds!

I went out to eat really only 2 times in January. I am doing slimfast shakes and bringing veggies and snacks with me to work. I hit the gym 5-6 days a week to hit my sitting bike (I can thank my low back for not allowing me to do much of anything else) and I am getting FIT!

All these other times I would lose weight (hello Iraq! and 30lbs) I would just go right back to my old habits...pry why I gained the weight anyways right?? Duh! So Im thinking that this 'change' is amazing...I feel good. I dont crave Jack in the Box and after reading that my mexican pizzas have 35 grams of fat (almost 60% your daily requirement) I dont crave Taco Bell either! Most places have burgers and food but they are so high in fat that its INSANE! An ultimate cheeseburger from Jack/Crack have 1010 calories!! And 65 grams of fat! What the fuck?? An orea shake from Baskin Robins? 1400!!! Its nuts! No wonder America is FAT. Its all that is out there. They are all about showing off superhuman models and then the only options to eat really are hugely obese foods that dont really seem like they would be so bad for you! Its just a burger and a shake! No biggy! Except that burger and shake are your entire days calories and 2 days worth of fat! Yummy ;)

SO Im pretty happy. I should get down to my goal weight (155lbs, my weight after Iraq) in about 6 weeks. And after that Ill see how far my body wants to go. I was about 130-135 all throughout high school so maybe Ill aim for that number ;) Who knows? Ill let my body decide where its happy and healthy...

My next resolution is to pierce my nose...huh, only 5 more weeks and I can! Heres to St Patricks Day! My 'release day'!!
