Resolute

Perhaps a better subject for this would have been Tired. You'll understand why in just a moment or three, I think.

Genties and ladlemen, I am tired.

I am tired of looking like a beachball with legs. I am tired of wheezing for breath when I do something so simple as schlep a particularly full basket of laundry upstairs. I am tired of so simple an activity as feeding my cats in the morning being cause for immense back pain.

Here and now I'm swearing to the lot of yez I am going to get myself in a physical condition where I *don't* move around like an asthmatic pregnant heifer. So help me Ghu, it ends. Not here and now, because unless some kind soul among yez has a magic wand handy, this will take time.

But the journey of a thousand miles, and all that.

first, remember that this is a lifelong process of changing how you live, and only part of that is eating...this means that you should just do your best to be healthy, eat right (avoid fad diets) and slowly increase your activity level at a rate that works for you. Try informational websites like www.fitday.com which will help you determine how much you take in and expend in calories everyday. If you average about 500 calories a day diffence in the amount you eat vs. the amount you expend, you will lose a pound a week. And trimming 500 calories a day is pretty easy.

Take it slow and do it for life! Good luck! :)
