Exiting the mire.

So this is it.  This is me finally deciding that things have to change.  In the immortal words of The Doors, "The time to hesitate is through".

So here's the deal.  Here's the plan.  Here's what I have to make myself do over the course of the year.  I have acquired P90, P90M, and P90X.  In the coming months, I will attempt to make my way through all 270 days of training.  I may not finish all three programs, as I am well aware that for my own well-being, it may be smarter to continue one program for more than the allotted 90 days in order to make sure that I am prepared for the following program.  However, I will be making a concerted and dedicated effort to complete the programs as designed.  One workout every day for six days of the week with one day as a rest day.

Day 1 is Monday, January 31, 2011.  On that day, I will post my beginning stats (height, weight, measurements, resting heart rate, etc.) and as I progress, I will post weekly updates to said stats.  Do not expect height to change.  If this workout plan makes me shorter, I am going to be PISSED.  In addition, I will post my workout, when it was done, and its duration every day. 

The ultimate goal for all of this is to get in the best shape I have been in since I moved to Raleigh.  The most quantifiable method for that is that I am determined to be back under 300 pounds by the beginning of December.  If I reach that goal before then (and if I do this right, I probably will) then I will set a new goal, whether it be weight or something else.

Here is my plea to all of you.  Hound me.  Yell at me.  Call me out.  Make me sorry if I miss a day.  Most of all, encourage me.  If you notice that i look different, tell me, but don't humor me.  I want honesty, brutal honesty.

I will be taking photos of myself every week as well to catalog the change in appearance.  Those may become public when I hit my goal, but until then, those are what will be MY hounding, yelling, calling out, and brutal, brutal honesty with myself.
