my eyes see Britain!

I noticed the other day that my new contacts are from here.

Hopefully that won't slowly pervert my brain until I become a Saints fan...

those pesky pounds

OK, I'm a bit fed up with my current state of health. So I'm going to try (again) and get into better shape.

More regular exercise: cycling and hiking for preference. More sleep. More fruits and vegetables. Somewhat less meat and dairy. A good bit less starch. Smaller portion sizes, overall. I think my good friend and companion alcohol needs to get cut back significantly, say by at least half. And, speaking of pointless calories, candy, pastry, etc. needs to be reduced to near zero. I need to get back in the habit of taking fibre supplements, and vitamins, and drinking more water.

I'd like to look better, but even if I got down to the weight that the (IMO) unrelistic BMI computer suggest, I would still be a big guy with wide shoulders and big hips. I'll still have my goofy face and my crooked teeth (orthodontia? no thanks--tried that once already, and boy was it a waste of money!) I'm not going to be hunky and handsome no matter what I do. :-) But I could be a lot healthier.

But it's going to take more planning, developing a more regular schedule so as to fix habits, and a bit more resolve.

So it is written; so let it be done. So say we all. :-)

EDIT: Oh, and a lot less fast food. I don't drink soda most of the time, so that's not to worry about. But I need to buy more things that I can cook quickly when I get home tired at the end of a long day, so I'm not tempted to just get a burger...
