Promise

Ok, so my New Year's Resolution was to work out this year. I always say I want a six-pack before my next birthday (I think that started in 2005, and I've never acheived it yet). But now it's quite desperate. I have a strange pot-belly that hangs over my jean buckle, and is remarkably uncomfortable unless I hold it in - and that quickly ends up being remarkably uncomfortable too.
So my promise is this: I WILL have a six-pack by my birthday. I can't say I'll start now (I've had a week off and done fuck all about it...but I'm hoping I get the cajohnes to go tomorrow - but I've been saying that for ages, so who knows?)
I will ahve a six-pack, and this year it'll be a much bigger challenge - I'm not fat by people's usual standards, but when I've got folds, and man-tits bigger than most of the girls I've been with (they'll know who they are), I've got problems. The one thing I'm hoping to do is start back at the gym early enough so I give myself enough time to actually achieve the goal this time - usually I get motivated about 3 months before my birthday, and hit the gym hard, before stopping about a month before it...its quite wierd. If I had a woman (and I know its hard to believe, but I do NOT), I'd have the motivation - or the exercise equipment to actually shift it, if you know what I mean (wink, wink). But alas, I do not...I need to a) get a schedule sorted, b) stick to it (which is quite hard knowing my attention span) and c) keep track of my own progress and results. The hardest part of that is actually sticking to a schedule. Even if I only go once or twice a week, that just means if I miss one, I miss one of a few - half my weekly schedule...If I was going every day of the week (like I should've gone this week!!!), and miss a day, its only one day out of the seven! See what I mean? Difficult because I'm notoriously fickle. The slightest reason not to go and I'll take a pass.
I remember being completely different - I'd go at absolutely every opportunity I could, and I'd work til I felt sick. What happened? I listened to the advice of someone who "knew how to work out", thats what!!! I wonder what kind of shape he's in now...
