My birthday is right around the corner on April 10. I am turning 23, but more importantly I am going to weigh less than 250 pounds. It is a little aggressive, as right now (only twelve days away) I weigh 256. Six pounds in twelve days isn’t going to be the easiest, but I am fairly certain I’ll be able to make it happen. I visited the gym today and had a great workout with over an hour of cardio and some weight training. I am looking forward to frequenting the gym more often now that I have my life back (from both work responsibility and poor choices) and getting closer to my goal weight of 180.

My goal is 180 right now, it might be a bit low. In high school my lowest weight was 192, and I felt like I had been in tremendously good shape. I could bench press 225 more than once, and probably can’t do that today. Perhaps I wasn’t and the extra 12 pounds would really help me run faster, lift more, or have better luck with the ladies. I’ll have to see if Mema (my grandmother) can send me some pictures from then so I can use them as motivation.

I guess that’s all I have to say. Some people buy themselves jewelry, food, wine, tickets, cars, etc.; I want to say ‘Happy Birthday’ by getting a little more healthy.
