New year, new goals

So. I'm not going to do the whole resolution thing. I have in the past and never follow through with it past the first couple weeks of January.
So what I am going to do is promise. I'm making a promise to myself that I had better follow through with or I'll kick my own ass.
Number one. I'm giving myself 1 year to lose 40lbs. That's a long enough time that I should be able to get it off and keep it off. I'm currently 280lbs which to my knowledge is the heaviest I have been. Which is crazy because this time last year I was working out several times a week and was down 20-30lbs. But 2012 was a very stressful year and as a stress eater I let myself go around June. Originally because I was going on vacation and figured I would get back on track after that. No such luck and here we are.
I did my first workout today and it felt awesome. Going to keep up with it for sure. Kick my ass if you notice I'm not updating here. Make sure I keep on it. And anyone else that is trying to lose and keep it off let me know and I'll help you out as much as I can with encouragement too! We all need support for sure.
The second thing I'm promising myself is to be more creative. I have a movie half written. I have a couple different musical projects just sitting there. And I know there is going to be resistance with extra work like this. But I wanna really push through and push myself to let some of my ideas see the light of day.

K I'm out guys. I'll keep you posted with how things are going, my losses and gains, and hopefully have some fun stuff for you guys to read and or listen too. Be good.
