Oh dear lord why is this scary.... Well, gotta start some where. I am 5'9", I weigh 206 pounds, and I am lazy as all heck. I want to change that. I have no specific weight goal in mind, I know that isn't very helpful, but I don't particularly care what number is on the scale. I want to be healthy, I want to not jiggle literally every where whenever I move, and I want to not have to walk away from a store empty handed because they don't carry the things I want in my size. I want to be able to run around with my three year old nephew without feeling like I'm dying, I want to be able to lift him up high enough for him to pull the cord for the ceiling fan (he loves that for some reason...). I want for guys that piss me off to be a little scared when I flex my arms at them, but I don't want to be a bodybuilder (nothing wrong with women bodybuilders, just not the thing or look for me). My actual goals are: I am going to lose at least 30 pounds. I am going to be able to run 2 miles without being COMPLETELY dead at the end. I am going to stop eating candy and drinking pop on a regular and frequent basis. (does it taste good? yes, but it doesn't taste worth all the crap that's in it) I am going to do this by the end of August. And if I get further, even better. Holy crap I'm really doing this huh?
