I've managed to lose some weight after emerging from my addiction to fast food and putting the kibosh on the filthy, nasty habit. I don't know, something about finding out your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are a wee high and then talking on the phone with your Ma and having her say "history of heart disease in the family? Oh yeah, especially on your Father's side" that's it's own proper motivation to circumnavigate your present condition. Mind you, I was never a blimp, although being 20 pounds overweight wasn't getting me any underwear modelling contracts neither, but I was in reasonable shape, I could go for a decent run on a moments notice, push myself real good with the weights at the gym, I just ate way too much crap is all.

Now, I'm about 15 pounds lighter, my goal is to actually lose 40 pounds total so I'll end up hovering around the low end of the weight range I should be in according to my height. I hate shoppin' for clothes but I really need a new pair of pants. As good as it has felt to now and then have to pull my pants back up, the novelty is faded. I like to wear my clothes slightly baggy but not this much. So, I am off today to buy some cargos, maybe some jeans.

Aside from improving my health, another reason I want to get back into shape is pure vanity. I look nothing like Mr. Nickalaus there, which may or may not be a good thing, and I should really post a picture of my true self however I want to make sure I'm trim and fit before I do. I'm not going through a major metamorphis, but I won't be the same person I was when I was overweight either. Not only will I be in better shape physically but spiritaully as well I hope and that's the image I want to project in my profile pic. So, who knows, maybe in a few months you'll get to see what Happyboy really looks like.
