248 Calories I cannot, will not, but should and need to give up.

As you may know, I am overweight. Fat. Husky.  Thus the nickname The Big One, which I swear Bryan it is going to catch on this year.  I always have been fat except for a brief period between the end of high school and my discovery of beer.  In August of this year I began walking/jogging/running a minimum of 1-2 miles every day.  I even got a nike plus deal for my shoes/iPod which needs a new battery.  The result?  Well, I feel a bit better and my weight in 2008 from 2007 did nothing.  Not up or down.  I suppose it is good that I maintained my weight the entire year, but let's just say that maintained weight is not ideal and is certainly not healthy.  A lady never tells, but lets just say it rhymes with exactly "tree bundred". So, as the cool kids do, I made a resolution and I am sticking to it.  I began today instead of the 1st as I have been battling a particularly nasty case of bronchitis.  I worked hard.  The plan is to still walk/jog/run 1-2 miles per day on the treadmill or on the road weather permitting.  I will couple that with a steady workout on my home gym (seen above) which I've had for years.  The family is also eating better as evidenced by the ratio of produce to crap Emily and I got at the store today.  I am also going to limit myself to no more than 2 sodas a day.  TWO?! you say.  thats terrible!  248 calories!  Well, I love soda, Coca Cola Classic in particular and 2 a day is waaaayy less than what i normally consume so cut me some slack.  As my other resolution is to write more, thus the resurrection of the blog, I will periodically post workout updates here.  Encouragement taken in the comments section.
