It's an Honest Start

I just went through the very demoralizing task of weighing and measuring myself for the start of my 39X39 journey. Today I start my goal of losing thirty-nine pounds by my thirty-ninth birthday.

I'm terrible at exercising and accountability, so in an effort to make my self actually do this VERY NECESSARY thing for myself, I started this blog. Some of you know me personally and I hope that you join my team of supporters and ass-kickers, as I really do need to drop this weight.

It has become painfully (no really, it is painful--my knees and back ache constantly) obvious to me that my weight has been headed in a very wrong direction for sometime, but I'm one of the laziest people ever, and, as such, I've done nothing about it.

I'm 6" tall so I get a lot of "You're not fat!," but yes, yes I am. Here are the (rough to admit) numbers:

I weigh 213 pounds. I have a 43 inch bust line and my waist and my hips both measure at 42 inches.

What does that look like? It looks like this:

Not very pretty, right? Well, I'm hoping to change that and, if you're so inclined, you can follow me on this journey.

I plan on posting once a week with a summary of my activity and any results. If I find tips worth sharing I'll be sure to add them in.
