I tend to think of myself as kinda selfish... maybe a little lazy. I like my "me" time, I like to relax and do what I want to do. **Here comes the excuse** You see, my work is very demanding. I put in a lot of hours and it can be pretty grueling. Not to mention the 100+ degree weather about 6 months out of the year. During the winter months if I'm outside it can be below zero degrees, if I'm inside anywhere from 40-65 degrees. Point is, I've made myself believe, to my own demise, that I do enough on a regular basis to get by without working out. This might be true if I had my eating under control 100% of the time, but clearly this is not the case.

I've decided that I will start getting myself together one day at a time- I need to grow up and take myself and my life and this body seriously. Not just with food and exercise, but with everything that I put off. Like cleaning the house when I don't want to. Watering my plants. Making dinner. Doing laundry. Calling my brother... you get the point.
