Yup, you read the title correctly. I'm finally going to get serious about losing the weight and I've chosen to actually blog it. So why the hell did I choose FTR to host this blog? Why didn't I choose some gay fitness site? Well, I don't necessarily want my blog to be read by randoms that I don't know. I feel more comfortable writing here. I've chosen to write a blog because I feel it's helped a bit with my poker and hopefully it will do the same for my attempt to stop being a fatass. Additionally, I chose to create an entirely new blog for this because I don't want to get my pokers and fitness all mixed up. If you have a problem with this, take it up with Courtie. She sayz I could doz whatever I wantz (well, not really, but I can do this).

I begin my conscious effort to lose the weight by getting a personal trainer. I had a consultation with a personal trainer today and he's perfect for the job. He's more than a personal trainer as he will help me put together meal plans with smart substitutes of crap I already eat. He seems real knowledgeable on how to get people to lose weight. He says I would be able to totally "transform" my body in four months. The idea of "transforming" my body got me pretty pumped. He also let me know that I have to help him help me. I can't just expect the sessions with him to do any good if I continue to be lazy and eat shit.

So obviously, I am going to change my eating habits altogether. A lot of carbs will be nerfed and some carbs that I eat will be substituted with healthier alternatives (this basically means white rice is now brown rice, everything else is gone). Any caffeine I choose to put into my body will come in the form of green tea. I only drink water so I don't have to worry about my beverage intake so much. I will stay away from sweets. I actually don't like sweets much...besides ice cream. That's basically my kryptonite. Unfortunately, there's always ice cream in my freezer due to my brother continuously buying it. I will use this as motivation and will look at it as the enemy whenever I open my freezer.

Today I had:
1) a turkey, ham, & cheese (cheese'll soon be substituted out) sandwich on 12-grain bread (bread may need to be nerfed).
2) steamed chicken & peapods with white rice (I forgot to ask for brown rice).
3) An orange and some random pieces of salami (yeah, I got hungry for a little something and took this down, salami is no bueno).

I have the next session with my trainer in the beginning of the week (depending on my work schedule). I think we're probably doing before/after pics...so that'll add to my motivation. Being that it's so cold out, I may just join the gym close to my house to do his recommended workouts on my own. I seriously plan to follow my trainer's plan to a T. I hope to not only change my body, but change the way I treat my body.

I'm not going to try to lose this weight...I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT.
