I'm doing 18 things
I just got my Jawbone UP. It’s not as in-depth a calorie counter as I was expecting, but I’m really hoping it makes getting into a healthy lifestyle fun, which will keep me doing it. That’s the important thing.

There’s a Buddhist temple, Jade Buddha, that’s hosting a two-week meditation retreat this December. Unfortunately, because of my schedule at work I can’t attend the whole thing, but I can attend for a weekend. So, while it might not be a week long retreat, it looks like it’ll be a really good primer.
Achieving this will get me down to 190 lbs. average for my height and body type.
I know this is going to be the hardest of all of my goals to accomplish.
I am the typical fat-ass American. I sit all day at work (IT), and my free time is as strenuous, writing—generally movie reviews. I LURVs me some hamburgers, pizza, just about anything fried, and, covered in cheese, I’d eat a dog turd.
Oh, did I mention I had a heart attack at 32? Seriously.
So, I’m up against a sedentary lifestyle, a love affair with terrible foods and a very serious disease.
Wish me luck, I NEED it!
