I am doing this five days a week now until I have a 30 inch waist again. Today though, instead of drinking and smoking at a bar until midnight like last night or only having one and a half meals yesterday, three red bulls and no water for the whole day I think I'll go about things differently.

Early mornings and ab workouts are my antichrist. Should we start a betting pool on how long I last? I might be willing to put some money down on that! I've been skating on 'wearing my clothes well' for far too long and despite having gym memberships for the last ten years have never used them but once a year. I still have a membership at Lifetime Fitness, Melissa works out there, but I picked this other gym because it's between work and home and I figured I needed to make the experience my own.
