The primary use of this livejournal will be to document my efforts to lose my weight, but I guess its<br />purpose range will expand throughout my senior school year. <br /><br />But yeah, you've read the intro - let's get to the details. I am five feet and nine inches tall, and now weigh two hundred forty five pounds. I've lost about forty pounds, dropping from a weight of two hundred eight five, since last year. But that just isn't enough for my weight...tisk, tisk, tisk. <br /><br />What I am currently doing exercise wise is one hundred pushups, five hundred crunches, and one hundred leglifts per day. Accompanying that with a few sets of several upper body exercises with twenty five pound dumbells, it's quite effective. <br /><br />Eh..diet wise? Not so good...<br /><br />I've only had one soda in the past 6 months, and currently only drink water and skim milk. I have the liquids down - no sweat - but the solids are the true problems in the diet. It's not uncommon to see slightly unhealthy foods in any cuisine, but the things my mom cooks....holy shyte. Recently I've been trying to avoid almost everything she cooks, and cook for myself 'mainly grilled chicken breasts, salads and fruits/vegetables'. I'm confident this'll help out alot more than grease a la carte served with a side of grease drizzled with a melody of...what? GREASE!?!?!<br /><br /><br />*sigh* Anyways, other than that, nothing else but final exams and trying to GET OUT MORE.<br /><br /><br />Peace<br /><br /><br /><br />-Joe <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />P.S.: Trust me, this livejournal will start to 'spiff' up a tad in the next few weeks, it won't always look like a total pissbucket
