The Winter of discontent

Winter is always bad for me. I get paid before Christmas and I over-spend. So there's not a lot of bill money in January, I have to catch up in February, which means I don't get back on an even keel until March only to have it start all over again. Fun days of PB&J sandwiches for lunch, pizza roll dinners, and what's this breakfast you speak of? I guess it's not so bad. If I learn to live frugally when I'm broke, I'll be able to hold onto cash when I need to after I get a better job.

new routine for a new year

I got back into the gym last night with a new twist on my old workout. I've been reading quite a bit on workouts. I'm trying to find something that will give me some progress. I am happy with some of my progress, but some not so much. As a result, I've decided to get really serious with my exersice. I'm going to get some of this fat off and get as much muscle on between here and June as I can and the only way I can do it is to get very careful with what I eat and stay with an intense workout program. I really need to ramp up my cardio too. I'm going to try to graduate from the eliptical machine to the treadmill.

I guess I'm tired of being fatty. I hate being "big guy". I'm 5'10". I weigh 253 lbs, which means I gained 5 over the holidays. My goal of getting under 200 seems so far away.
