Revamping the Blog and Myself.

So I am going to be one of the millions of people tomorrow who make a resolution to loose weight and get healthy. Thing is, I'm pretty resolved to make this resolution pan out. I am giving myself til January 1st, 2012 to be at my target weight, that's 100 pounds in 1 year. It's going to take alot of work and even more dedication to make this happen, but after nearly a decade of being unhappy with my weight I'm going to take charge and make something happen. So my No Excuses is going to be geared toward achieving this goal. I will make no excuses and make this happen. So here I'm going to outline a few of the goals, like rules for the next 362 days (362 because I'm gonna take a break on my and Garrett's birthdays, and our anniversary):

~No sodas.
~No processed foods, if you can't look at it and know what the main ingredients are then it's a no go for eating.
~No canned foods, only fresh or frozen, gotta avoid those preservatives.
~Daily exercise, be it taking Mack for a walk or going to the gym, my Polar exercise watch is gonna log a minimum of 2hrs and 15 mins of active time per day (because that's what it takes to fill up the indicator on the face :P)
~Keep researching healthy lifestyles. Right now I'm really looking into Mediterranean/Asian styles of eating, exercise, and relaxation. Lowering stress levels makes for a healthier life.

So far that's what I've got. We'll see how it goes!!! I have 23 hrs and 15 minutes to make my final preparations and drink my last few Dr. Peppers :P

Let's do this!!!
