Accidentally Fat, Intentionally Fit

Today is Thursday, July 14th, 2011.  I am 23 years old and attempting to start my first successful blog (as in, I actually write more than one post per year) while simultaneously trying to start my first successful attempt at losing the weight I've gained in the past 7 years.

This is not my first attempt at these things (and amazingly, not even my first time trying to do them together), but I surely hope that it will be my last.

I am going to attempt to lose 50 pounds by the end of 2011.  That is 24 weeks from now, which averages out to about 2 lbs a week.  Is it going to be easy?  Absolutely not.  It's probably going to be horrible.  But is it going to be worth it?  Absolutely.

I do not want to look at myself 6 months from now, a year from now, or 5 years from now and think "why do I still look this way?"  I know that if I work hard, stay positive and stay focused, I can do this.  And when I am opening presents with my family on Christmas Day, I will be able to look at myself and say, "This is who I am supposed to be."

So while I may have gotten accidentally fat over the past seven years, over the next 6 months, I will be getting intentially fit.

On your mark, get set, GO!
