it's time!

Several years ago Jessie and I were really into watching the biggest loser and talking health. We talked, but didn't do too much until one fortuitous night we watched "Supersize Me" by Morgan Spulock. After viewing that film we swore off fast food forever and took a two hour walk. For two years I was religious to the cause. I only ordered salads from fast food places, and only splurged at restaurants for the occasional special occasion. I lost 20 lbs.

Somehow though it snuck back into my life. There's something about the combination of being a student (Never home, always studying) and being single (never bothering to cook for just yourself) that lands me at the Taco Bell.

So I've recommitted to my cause--mostly because since I've started Grad school I've put on an uncomfortable amount of weight, but also because I know I can do it, and think how much better I would feel if I could fit into those 20 pairs of pants in my closet.

I think tomorrow I'll make a little chart with gold stars. I've also got to figure out how to punish myself if I have a bad day.
