Dear Wii Fit

Dear Wii Fit,

Thank you for calling me overweight.  I knew I would not like the results after tha past few months have not been that health conscious.  So for the first time in over 3 years I reached over 200 pounds.  Being 205 is not making me smile.  Can I really have gained 25 pounds in four months?  Looks like no more junk food at work for me, just healthy foods with a treat from time to time.  As for going out to eat at Red Robin, or ordering Chinese or getting a pizza, no thanks.  By the end of tax season and in time for my 28th birthday I plan on being back to my post summer weight.

Now besides the above I also need to get back to working out, that has been one important thing that is lacking as of late.  Tax season does not help matters.  However I will try to workout during lunch as well as taking more walks.  Also after work try to find more active activities and play more energetic video games like Wii Fit and Just Dance.  As said in a prior post, this is my fault and no one else.  Currently I am also enrolled in Fundamentals of Human Nutrition so I will be looking more in depth at my habits and work on approving.  I can do this. I will do this.

Yours truly,

Brian

So I feel as though I have let myself go, hahaha.  I miss the months of biking, those miles do wonders.  Since my month of the vegan experiment followed by the two weeks of no taste buds, I have lost most of my want to eat healthy.  So the combination of eating worse and less exercise has not been great.  Oh and let's throw in the holidays as well while we are at it.  These are stupid excuses and I am not going to take it any longer, even if I do have another 95 days of tax season ahead of me.  Already this week I have cut my sugar intake and have tried preparing healthier food options.  Tax season is definitely stressful and exhausting, but I am truly going to try making it better.  If all else fails, February 13th will be here in no time.

Hopefully 2013 brings more opportunities to get outside and explore.  In the past year I was fortunate enough to go visit friends in Florida and swim in the ocean; explore the city I love, Chicago, for the millionth time and meat new people and see new things; and finally jumped on a plane and flew to Denver and made my way north and climbed and hiked through mountains.  Who knows what this year will bring.  Possibly another trip to NYC to visit my sister before she moves on the bigger and better things post grad school, or south to North Carolina to visit Crystal and Ted, or some place simply unknown.  Where ever I go I want to see something exciting and fresh.  Each year brings growth and by chance in the right direction.
