Here it is again. The new year. It’s going to be the best one yet, right? I’m so tired of saying that every year… I always say, “man… at least next year will be better…” I want to say it one last time… So here we go: This year is going to be awesome!!

Ok, I said it. Now how do I make that happen? I have a list of things I want to make happen, but the trick is to hold myself accountable.

One of the things that this blog is going to help me with is creativity. I feel like my creativity is tapped, and this blog has always been a creative outlet for me. Nothing groundbreaking by any stretch, but it should serve as a mental exercise, and I think that is as important as the physical exercises we do…

Which brings me to another accountability. I just weighed in. ;) 211 lbs, and 30.6 BF. Holy cheese and crackers, Batman! I found a neat idea at One Man’s Blog that I’m gonna participate in. Today is day one of the HealthyChallenge! Let’s do this! Time to bring those numbers down!

So, for accountability’s sake, here’s the two most important things for 2010.

1) Get healthy. Bring my weight down to the 170’s and bring my fat content down to the teens (is that possible?).

2) Get creative again! My mind feels paralyzed lately. Like someone has filled my head with mental concrete, and I can’t move. I need to shake that funk off and get back in the game!

What are your goals and resolutions? What are you going to do going forward this year?

I know a lot of us out there are going to do the right thing and make that Get In Shape resolution. A great many of us will… Not all of us will exit this endeavour slim, trim and yummy. In fact, statistics say most of us wont. But, like the teeming millions out there, I will join the race and do my best to recapture my fit and trim self from yesteryear. I have my top secret plan of attack, and as of right now, the determination of a…. determined thingy.

I thought I’d share with you one of my favorite calorie counting websites. I highly recommend it if you are into the whole calorie counting thing. You know, the only diet that really works? … I say that like I’m not fat… Well, when I’m thin, I’ll tell you what, damnit! :: points and makes a face at you :: (yes. YOU!)

Good luck to one and all! See you on the fit and trim side!
