I have never made a New Year’s Resolution, certainly not one as clich as to lose weight. No matter how much it could benefit me if successful, the risk of becoming one of the many Americans who sign up for gym memberships and buy only fruits and vegetables on January 1st and then go on to actually only attend the gym twice and find themselves at home scarfing down Big Mac’s and large fries while cleaning out the fridge of putrid produce two weeks later was too much of a deterrent. This year however I have given in. Even though I lug a 25 lb toddler and 10lb purse up and down three flights of stairs everyday it seems as though that is not enough. I have found myself at an even heftier weight than ever before, even as much as when I was pregnant. The weight shall not be mentioned in this blog today but I will say that My BMI is 48.8 which is more than morbidly obese. What have I done to make myself this unhealthy? NOTHING! No, I am not saying this unhealthy body that I am in is not my fault. I am not misguidedly blaming others for my situation. I am honestly admitting that I have done absolutely NOTHING to be healthy. I have not exercised let alone even moved out of my cubicle or off of the couch rather that to perform necessary tasks of getting lunch, going grocery shopping ,or doing the laundry. I have not been mindful of what I was eating. To become healthy is no small task. After a lifetime of glutton and greedily devouring fast food and sweets as much and as often as wanted it will be very difficult to change. To begin I have started taking vitamins, drinking water and having a bowl of cereal with fruit in the morning. I have made a promise to myself to not eat fast food at all for at least one month. After the month is over I will allow myself one fast food meal every 2 weeks but I will try not to go out of my way to get them. I will be adding new goals on February first. Next month will probably be more focused on fitness and excercise. Hopefully now what I have announced it to the world or more like the world wide web, it will be a little bit easier to do.
