Resolutions

The lowest I have ever weighed is 138lbs.
Now this may not sound particularly impressive or low, but I'm nearly six feet tall, so on me, 138 looked pretty skinny. But that was about 4 years ago, and today I weigh probably the heaviest I have ever weighed, at 218lbs.

I worked hard to get to my lowest weight, but I did it all wrong. Almost entirely through diet with barely any exercise, I limited myself to sometimes no more that 500 calories a day, and constantly felt ill and tired. Needless to say it didn't last.
So this time I want to do it properly. I don't just want to be thin, but healthy. I want build my strength and learn to enjoy working out, to be one of those people that jumps out of bed at 7am and goes for a long run and loves it, and loves life...

This may seem a little optimistic, but I really believe there are people out there like this. Yes nobody wakes up every single morning raring to go, everybody has days when they would rather stay curled up under the duvet, but there are people whose default mood is 'cheerful' rather than 'tired'. And I'm going to be one of them.
