Well, I know it's time to post again. Can I blame it on all the craziness of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? No? O.k. Well, in case you don't know, I'll be going up to Ohio for Christmas this year! I'm going to spend the Christmas holiday with Kristin's sister and parents. I wish Jungle Jims was a little closer to Cleveland, TN! I'll be heading out Friday 12/21/07 and I'll return the evening of 12/25/07. I wish I didn't have to come back that early, but work would not let me off the days after the Christmas break. Even still, I'm very excited about going up to Ohio to spend a cheerful Christmas holiday!
Now what is 120 Days Project? Isn't that 4 months? Is it some crazy title I made while listening to Alan Parson's Project? Yes and yes! O.k. the 120 Days Project is something I have come up with that will begin on January 1, 2008 and it will end in 120 days (duh) on April 28, 2008. It's a program that will help with my diet and exercise routines... well... it's a program that will get me on a diet and exercise routine! But it isn't just a diet that I can claim I'm on any day. This is a consistent diet and exercise program where I make myself have accountability partners. Who and how is this done? Well...
1. Who: Anyone who reads my blogs and/or knows about my 120 Days Project will be my accountability partner.
2. How: I have to report on my blog daily the routines in exercises that I've done and the progress of my diet. (I will develop a check list for faster posting. Like a copy and paste thingy.)
I feel that in order to stay on a diet and stay in an exercise routine, for me, then I must have some sort of a motivational reason for doing it. Kind of like looking forward to something. I know when I lost 75 pounds back in 2001, I had something to look forward to, and that was simply to lose weight and get in shape. However, with food tasting more tasty and chocolate beginning to be a make-up of my blood stream, I need a new motivation. The motivation this time will simply be to succeed in fulfilling the 120 Days Project (along with getting in shape and losing weight of course). This project has a pretty neat benefit as well, I will blog a LOT more.
I am also going to do a visual weight loss 'slide show' of the progress from January 1, 2008 to April 28, 2008 that I will show after it is complete. I will take a picture of myself once a day everyday during the 120 days.
I know I'm going to succeed in this program and that's why I know I can go ahead and do it. This is the type of thinking that is good in many areas of life. Of course we can't succeed in anything without the help of God who gives us our very breath. I feel like writing an inspiring report, can't you tell?
Anyway, you should look at this if you feel like making a little extra money on the side is something you know that you can do: http://www.mypowermall.com/Biz/Home/89480
Starting January 1, 2008, it begins. I will post more details of the actual program that day when I get fully into it (like what exercises, what to eat/not eat, what to drink/not drink, and good stuff like that).
Until then! Merry Christmas and get some figgy pudding!!!!!

I'm SO glad I checked your post. I will be one of your accountability partners. :-) I look forward to seeing the progress & counting down with you. Now, if I happen to have some chocolate in my hand - I'll remind you how much I'm helping you by preventing you from getting it. LOL! I am sure I'll be inspired by you. I'm proud of your committment! Luv ya cuz!
OK, Jonathan! If you want accountability to work for you, you're gonna have to submit to punishment if you're not meeting our expectations!!! ;( Do you want us to be hard on you or just slap your wrist with a wet noodle when you fall short? Well, of course that means IF you fall short!! Right? We'll be looking for those reports.
Have a safe trip and be careful on the road. Tell everyone Merry Christmas for us.
