So Went to the Doctor Sunday due to throat hurting pretty bad.  The pain wasn't what freaked me out. It was the 6 white patches in my throat that turned out to be pus pockets due to what I would find out was strep at the time.  The thing that bothered me the most was the fact I weighed 192 pounds.


     Now 192 doesn't seem like that much compared to the obesity epidemic Sweeping America according to the latest CNN poll.  But for me A 5'6" single guy that is a HUGE buzzkill.  I've always considered my ideal weight to be about 165, and that got me to start thinking today.

    Looking back toward the year of 2013, there was a great deal of things that were positive, but I still consider it a step back in life progress.  So, if I made all these life foward movements, why did I still consider it a negative year?

    Today at work I came to the answer.  It was my outlook has been more sour and depressing that it ever has.  I'm not happy because I'm not where I want to be and I Don't look like who I WANT to look like.  Now I know that I can't just make the negative mindset I have just magically disappear.  That is why I'm undertaking an experiment of sorts.

    Starting with this post here, I'm gonna do a excersice/psych/self-intervention.  Now I know this blog isn't going to go much of anywhere and I'll probably forget about it within the week, but If i and your reading look back and I stuck with it, wouldn't that just be simply amazing.

   So here is the plan

  1.  i'm not the best at going outside of my comfort zone to exercise.  My brain just gets in the way trying to analyze everyone else and just as a friend put it " you just have a loud brain".  So i'm gonna do all my fitness from home, mostly cardio and self weighting ( push ups, pull ups, crunches).

      How to do cardio in my home in a way I enjoy.  Well I'm a Dance Dance Revolution freak, so Today on amazon I ordered 6 different version of DDR for my playstation 2 and a new dance pad.  Yeah, they even have a workout mode on these games.

 2.  I'm gonna keep a mental outlook journal.  each week I'm gonna rate myself outlook from -10 to 10.  -10 being close family memeber passing away negative, and a 10 being getting married or curing cancer.

 3. this is the most important step.  I'm gonna graph it all out to track my results with my favorite thing.  Graphs.

 here to a fun experiment, and hopefully positive results!
