Let the Journey Begin

I've always been one of those people who wants to keep a diary, to keep record of all my travels, and trials, my successes and failures.  I wanted to be able to look back on it when I'm older and remember things otherwise lost from my memory.  It has been my New Years resolution several times over to keep up on it.  And each year I fail.  Miserably.  

So it is a new year.  Same old resolution.   I'm giving it another go.  Only this year I'm going to pair it with another warn-out old resolution.  You know the one.  The one we all have every year. We tell ourselves, "This year will be the year.  This year I will get in shape."

So here is my thought.  First of all, I usually end up giving up on the diary/blog whatever because I have nothing to write about.  Now I've given myself a subject.  Also, by putting myself out there (here) and writing about my attempts at getting fit, perhaps I will embarrass myself into keeping up with it.  Perhaps the guilt and judgement from you all will be enough motivation to keep me going.  We shall see.  

My plan is to write about my various methods of diet and exercise and regular status updates on the progress.  This may also include the occasional rant on the emotional repercussions.  

I am committing myself to total honesty.  If I include what I ate that day, I'll include it all.  Every last cheating morsel.  If I include a photo, I will not edit.  

And so it begins... tomorrow.
