Far From Refuge

Ok, so I am seriously sick and tired of being fat. I know many people would say, "Oh you aren't fat," and I guess I wouldn't call myself "fat" fat. But I have to be honest with myself. I am fat. Im over-weight, and I am over it. It hinders my dating life, my self image, and options on the clothes I wear. Im so over be the fat funny guy. And I know I have said this many many times, but I have reached the threshold point.

So, my solution is to start Body-for-Life (BFL). For those of you who don't know what BFL is, it is an eating/exercise program started by guy named Bill Phillips. The eating side basically consists of eating 5 or 6 small meals a day each with a lean-protein and a complex-carb. The sweetest thing about it is that one day a week you get to eat whatever you want to. This throws your body off to what is happening the other 6 days so its more effective. The exercise program is pretty sweet as well. It requires going to the gym 6 days a week but it crams your work outs so you don't have to be at the gym for more than an hour.

Anyways, I'm excited to say the least. I've talked to a number of people that have done it in the past and everyone says how great it works. I was first introduced by my buddy Jeff while I was in California for Christmas. It sounded intriguing and I was definitely ready to do something about my situation. I've been doing it for a little over a week now and i'm already liking it. Hopefully I'll see some results here pretty soon.
