A New Year - A New Me!

I have always been a bigger guy and kid. I have tried a few times to lose weight and get thinner but have never truly succeeded. In all honesty it isn't the weight that bothers me it is purely the image. I am not overly self conscious as well which I feel is part of my issue. I also can always justify my lack of activity due to work or family even my flat out laziness. Throughout the past year I have hit an all-time big. I have to wear 4x shirts and at least size 46-48 jeans. Normally I would keep going but I have started noticing more and more how this is effecting not only myself but those around me. I have found I decline in the lightest activity when my kids ask I am also less outgoing with my wife. This has led me to the conclusion that something has to change and I am not looking to rearrange everything else in my life. 

Life Changes and Rules 2015

After discussing this with my wife we have decided to make some major changes as a family. We have made some big changes to how we shop and work our weeks/nights. I must admit that my wife has been a huge motivator on this life-style change. She has kicked ass when it comes to not making excuses and simply doing what needs to be done. So being the man I am I cannot very well let her best me and have decided cut the bull-shit and just get it done.  Because of my new found slogan I have set a few rules that I will be perusing from here on out.

• Absolutely NO Sugar (external of health supplements)
• Gym Once Per Day
• ONLY Water
• NO Eating After 7pm
• NO Second Helpings
• Say Yes to Activities

Goals for 2015

To go with all of my new founds rules I have a few goals I am looking to achieve. These may seem overly simple but to be frank are exactly what I am looking for. Of course with anything I set new goals as I complete these but this is more of feeling and looking better than it is anything else for me. 

• Fit into 2x and 38-40 jeans.
• Buy my First Suit by EOY.
• Run 1 Mile w/o Stopping
• Bench 150 lbs 15 times.

So there it is, bring it on 2015 so we can GET IT DONE
