If you see me scratchin’ my butt…

I started tanning at a salon for the first time ever on Friday afternoon. I didn’t go for vanity reasons, either. I have been feeling really down and moody for the last couple of weeks, and it was suggested to me that I try going to a tanning salon.

So, I did, and now I’m itchy. There are lots of places on my body that haven’t seen the sun since I was a kid. Every time I go to the pool or sit out in the sun, I wear a shirt. About an hour after my first session I started to get an itchy back and chest. I went again today, and this time I went in the buff, now my butt is really itchy. At least my dick isn’t; I would have to some ‘splaining, otherwise.

Also, I think I may be getting a cold sore. Fuckin’ herpes!?!

It's a New Year!

I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions; I don’t believe in them. I mean, why wait for a specific time. If you’re going to start something, do it now rather than waiting for a date.

After saying that, I know that this is going to sound like a New Year’s resolution, but I started this over a month ago, thinking that the upcoming year will be awesome for me. I will be better. Not only in spirit or the things that I do, but also in my health, my demeanor, my outlook, my emotions, my mind, and ultimately my body. I want to have fun this year; I haven’t had a great year since 1998 (but I won’t go into that here and now, maybe later).

Also, last week I signed up for Men’s Health “New Year, New You” 5-week transformation program. Hopefully it will help kick-start this tired, old, fat ass of mine; and get me off the couch.

I actually started working on losing weight at the end of November, thinking that if I could lose weight during December (or at least break even), I could lose weight anytime.

Well, here are the stats so far:

November 30, 2005: 241.6 pounds
January 1, 2006: 236 pounds
January 3, 2006: 234.6 pounds

I’ve lost 7 pounds in just over a month, and mostly without doing anything. The only thing I’ve really done is cut out junkie crap out of my diet. I’ve been bitching at my mom about the snackies she’s been buying; now she’s onto salty shite like nuts and chips. I told her if she is going to be buying nuts, at least make sure that they’re not salty; almonds would be best. I have to go shopping for good, healthy snackie food for work.
