Just after New Years, the guilt sets in...

Wow. I never thought I'd be blowing off AP Art History homework to blog about my health. But here I am.

You know, so many people battle obesity, and all the health risks, like diabetes, that come with. They call it a fight, a struggle, or a journey. I'm not a soldier, nor am I Dora the Explorer. I mean it's somewhat of a struggle, what I'm engaged in. It's the same struggle everyone old enough to care about their weight deals with during and after the holiday season.

This past summer, I started off on a strict self-imposed diet/exercise regiment. Fruit smoothies for breakfast, yoga and pilates, power walking for half an hour every day. But soon, a lack of situations in which I could show off my toned abs (and lack of anyone to impress) threw me back onto the path of not caring so much. I had made progress, but have definitely lost it and then some by now.

So once again, here I am. This isn't just an attempt to lose weight, it's an attempt to get healthier and look and feel better. So without further ado...
