My Name's Not Jared

I seriously need to lose weight. I’m going back to my hometown in June and I’d like to be skinnier than I was when I visited last year. For one thing, I told everybody I was going on a diet as soon as I got back.
That didn’t happen.

But it’s time. My wife wants to do it by taking Alli or something like that. I want to do it the hard way – exercising, working out and dieting. Actually, I don’t want to do any dieting. I just want to eat healthy. I want a lifestyle change instead of a diet because diets never work. Besides, I’d feel so much better about myself if I was able to truthfully tell everybody that I did it without any kind of drugs or anything like that.

I have two and a half months. I’m not setting unrealistic goals, but I going to try to be hardcore about this. I’m trying to find more weights for my weight bench, but nobody has them at their store. Target had a great set, but only on their website. It was $40 for 115 pounds but I would need to have it delivered to my house. The only problem with that is that the shipping and handling would cost about $120 – that’s three times the price of the weights!

So until I can find a good price on those, I suppose I’ll have to stick to walking and maybe some jogging.
