I’m a vain person, no use denying that. When I diet it’s usually for vanity’s sake… to wear my clothes better or so I can attract more aholes into my life. LOL! But my recent struggle with my health added 20 pounds to my already overweight body and made me realize that fitness and health should be a major concern.

This year I’m aiming for a fit and healthy body. I’ll try to have a better and more balanced diet, and I’ll attempt to go to the gym to work out. THE HORROR! I abhor going to the gym or doing most forms of physical activity. I don’t like getting sweaty or wearing gym clothes. Rawrrr!

But for vanity and for fitness, I’ll do it this year. I’ll start with a once a week walking around the oval and running on the treadmill routine. My first day will be on Monday, January 10, 2011. This will just be the first step. I hope to get back to belly-dancing and maybe do more and longer cardio workouts.

I hope this will improve the condition of my cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems.

I currently weigh around 140 pounds. At only 5″1, I am overweight. My initial goal is to lose 10 pounds by February 12, 2011. And eventually, I hope to get to a weight of 115 – 125 pounds with a waistline of 27 or 28. I hope to accomplish this by my 29th birthday on April 28, 2011. And I hope to maintain this throughout 2011 and beyond.

I know I already look good, but I’d like to look better. And have a better health.

Any tips you’d like to share with a gymphobic like me? 🙂
