Time to be a believer. Again.

Ok. So This is take 3 on OperationSkinnyButt.

This time. Is the real deal.

I have every opportunity to take back my health.

And damnit I better get there.

For two years, I've had this 'poor me' pitty party.

That is no longer apart of my world.

In 2000 when I lost all that damn weight-did I have a poor me attitude?

Nope.

I said shut up, you've been a fat bitch for too long.  Get off that damn couch.

I'll never forget that feeling.

The feeling I felt.

The place where I went to college had a 2 mile block around school.  Each side was 1/2 mile long.

I'll never forget that feeling.

I started out... walking 1/2 mile.  Jalking (jog/walking-ie. SLOW job) 1/2 -- walk 1/2 -- jalk 1/2

I'll never forget that feeling.

The day I finally was about to job the entire 2 miles. 

I ended right in my front yard.

I dropped down on my knees in my yard... and burried my eyes in the leaves. (It was fall.)

I cried so hard that day.

I did it.

I knew I could do it.

I made no excuses.

And damnit.

I did it.

I'll never forget that feeling.

It wasn't that I FLAKED after my last post.

I did reach out.

And I do have this really amazing story I will and can't wait to share with you!

Traveling and having family in has made it hard. 

I have returned to working out... but I KNOW that isn't the ONLY change that will make the fat disappear.  I have to work out MORE than 2times a week-and not eat S*IT!!!!

Ok.  It's a week before Christmas.  I have to start now.

Cause 2010 is going to be MY year.

'08 & '09 had some amazing milestones... but overall were the hardest and least rewarding years of my life.

I lost myself.  I lost that person who WANTED it.  And GOT it EVERY SINGLE TIME.  No matter what that was.  Career... health.. men.. hahahah (Yeah.  Matt got the wrath of the GIVE IT TO ME Joey! ha.  In return.. he had a hot girlfriend!! hahahaha)

So cheers to the new year.  The start is now.

But this emotional eating bullshit that put me in this evil downspiral is OVER.

I can't wait to share with you my adventure to great health and happiness.

I need your help though.

I need YOUR accountability. 

Leave me a message giving me a DRILL SERGEANT order.

Get your fat a** out there, Joey!!!

I really believe the devil makes people fat.  Of course glutony is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Just like career... 'I don't have to live to work"

Just like food..... "I don't have to live to eat".

Work to live.

Eat to live.

Hey Joey!

If you want to get rid of that fat ass, then cardio is NOT the answer. You need resistance training. You'll find it's MUCH more effective at whittling that rear view down to something a little more pleasing to the eye. Let me know if I can help you, and be sure to check out my blog for some inspiration and information.

SO GLAD to see you want to start before January. That's a great attitude. If running is the only way you can start, then go do it. Better to establish the routine of exercising, even if it's not the most effective exercise. We can get you on some resistance training soon enough.

Hang in there and you can do it! SO DO IT!!!
