I guess I'll bite with this goal setting thing.

I have a few goals I want to accomplish this year:

Top Priority
-Lose weight (Weighing in at a very light 430 lbs.). Ultimate goal is to weigh in at around 250 lbs.
-Get my associate's degree (General Studies)
-Find a new place to live
-Quit drinking pop

Would Like to Accomplish/Won't be heartbroken if not achieved
-Be more sociable
-Get a girlfriend
-Be less of the asshole that I am



So yeah there it is. I'll post updates if anyone has even the slightest of interest.


**Things may get added to this list as time goes on**

So kicking the soda habit is going to help you lose weight right there, that's a good start! What else are you going to start/quit doing to manage your weight? I'm told that like 70% of it is truly diet, so there's that!

All right that sounds great! Have you thought about how often you're going to go to the gym, and what you're going to do there? If you have a membership you might be able to do a class or get an hour with a trainer for free or cheap, yeah?

Make sure to drink a LOT of water, especially if you're gonna hit up the sauna! Do you have/are you comfortable in a pool? Swimming and water aerobics tend to work your whole body and it's low-impact so ya knees don't hurt. :D

So let's get detailed: what is your exact plan for tomorrow's meals and workout? Do you have a water bottle? What are you going to wear when you exercise?

Tomorrow, I will do about 20 minutes doing strength workouts, most likely the weightlifting machines. I will about 30 minutes doing cardio workouts, most likely the exercise bike for 20 minutes and 10 minutes walking around the track. These workouts won't be in any particular order but I'll keep strength workouts together and cardio together. After those workouts I'll hit the sauna for about 5-10 minutes.

I will definitely be bringing a few water bottles with me since the gym is in Flint, MI.

As far as the workout clothing goes, I have a pair of running shorts and a t-shirt I'll be wearing.

More like 2 1/2 hours. I live 25 minutes away, plus I wanted to give myself some time to rest before going to work.

I also forgot to answer your question about meals. As for tomorrow I was planning on doing a fast, drinking nothing but water so I can flush out my system of bad stuff.

Yeah, you right. Are you going to shower between there and work? Or just freshen up a lil bit; wash your face and put on more deodorant? I always went to the gym after work bc I liked to just go home and shower rather than freshen up there.

Day 1: I didn't acomplish doing the full workout planned. I ended up doing 10 minute strength workouts and 20 minutes on the treadmill. I sat in the sauna for 5 minutes and an hour in the hotub.

I also caved in with the fasting and got sushi with my dad. Still a good workout nonetheless.

Today I went to the gym, my dad decided that I was lying to him about not being able to bench press 190 lbs, that was embarrassing. I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and sat in the sauna for 10 minutes reminiscing about family members.
No food today, only water as well, so I accomplished what I was planning to do the other day! XD

I also downloaded Sketchup on a whim and I managed to make a truck in a matter of a couple of hours.

Overdue update: This entire week has been rough with going to the gym. The 1st and 2nd the gym was closed for New Year's, I went back to work on the 3rd and have been working overtime. I got sick on Friday, along with working. Today I sat in the sauna hoping to sweat out the sickness. It worked a little bit, but still feel like crap.

Good news is I cut back the pop to one a day and I only was bad with eating out once this week (KFC on Wednesday).
