I realize that it is a little bit cliche to have a health and wellness resolution in January. But hey... you've got to start sometime and my aspirations to start this back in November, you know, "before the holidays and I get a little more cushion around the middle" and "before I'm the guy starting the resolution in January" just didn't pan out. And now I am the guy starting this in January and I did put a little extra cushion around the middle during the holidays.
Which, frankly, is new territory for me. Because, I've always been skinny. At times rail thin skinny. Some might even say skeleton skinny. (Ask those who knew me in high school.) --I've toned up a few times now and then, even liked how I looked at times but for the most part... I've just been the skinny guy.
My wife and I were watching the making of a movie we recently rented with a fair amount of food scenes. The actors were all commentating about how much weight they had gained by being in the movie when one of the guys remarked that he was now "skinny fat". And it hit me. --I have become a skinny fat dude.
Thus, the resolution to get back in shape, be healthy and feel better in general.
Unfortunately, I have yet to make my plan for how to accomplish this. Partially because I rang in the new year with a nasty head cold. So stay tuned as I add my plans, talk about my diet and exercise routines and add stats about my progress.
And so it begins. I am 30 years old, just over 6 feet tall and yesterday I weighed in (my heaviest EVER) at 185.5 pounds. I know it doesn't sound terrible... but trust me it doesn't look good. Like I said... skinny fat! Wish me luck.
