Flat Nathan

I need your help. And I'm not even trying to use the cuteness factor of my Godson to help me with women (like some people who will not be named in this post). Young Nate (my Godson) has a Flat Stanley project due in early February. Basically, what Flat Stanley entails is me taking photos of him (Nate's laminated cutout) and I at local landmarks in San Francisco and the Bay Area. If you're free, have a camera, and want to roam around the Bay with me, let me know. It should be fun. :)

It's Going Well

The back feels better than it has in over a month. I've done a pretty good job of sticking to the diet and workout plan too. Three weeks in, I've lost ten pounds--not too shabby. I'm still three pounds heavier than I was in May of last year. Once I get there, I'll shoot for at least ten more. Gotta keep truckin'!

Boring

Wellness is so important. For the last few years, I haven't treated my body well and have already started to feel the effects. It's time for a change. I'm going to do my best to eat locally grown, organic food (it's nice to have a farmer's market at work twice a week). You can be sure to find me at the gym at least six days a week and I'm likely going to quit drinking because it's hard for me not to induldge and it has lead me to make poor decision after poor decision--many of which I will regret for the rest of my life. Probably one of the other keys to this transformation is making sleep a priority so eight to ten hours is VITAL, though eight is more realistic than ten.

Some folks live their life like there's no tomorrow because there may be no tomorrow (God forbid we could get shot, hit by a train, or have cancer). I'm not going to rip individuals who live their life in the fast lane as I hope folks don't rip me for my new lifestyle choices. I'm already starting to see the changes pay off. In the last three weeks, I've lost about six pounds, my energy levels are high, and I have been sleeping like a baby. I haven't felt this great the spring of my senior year at Cal. Something tells me I'm into something good.

Anyhoot...peace, love, and happiness to you all. Namaste :)
