I'm fat.

I know I've gained a lot of fat since I moved to San Francisco - I've not been keeping up with any sort of exercise regimen and so I've pretty much let myself go. But even knowing that, I did not really notice a difference on a day to day basis. It really wasn't until sorting through pictures from vacation that it really hit me. Nothing says "Hey, you're fat" quite like looking at 1000+ pictures of yourself on vacation. In some shots, I had almost no chin. NO CHIN!!!!!! (and no, these pictures will NOT be available to the general public)

I will no longer tolerate this. I have decided to start jogging regularly again, and to alter my diet. Altering my diet is a bit of vague concept as I'm not actually going to go on a diet - it'll be more of a "eat less at each meal" sort of diet. The jogging, though, will be quantifiable. I will go for a minimum of 30 minutes three times a week. I also want to start with modest goals; I would like to lose 10 pounds in a month.

I had actually set these goals last weekend, right before I got sick. At the time, I weighed in at a very hefty 197 pounds. I just weighed myself earlier today and I've lost 11 pounds during the week! Sweeeeeeet - an easy kickstart to my weight-loss program. :)

I will start running and hopefully be able to lose even more weight. I'd be happy to get under 180, and ecstatic if I can hit 172.

Let the weight loss begin!
er, I mean, Let the weight loss continue! (but in a healthy manner, not due to some viral infection)
