What the Hell is This Guy Doing?

Its the new year but rather than make a new goal for myself I am going to up an old one to new levels. I have become increasingly sick of my appearance as of late. The manboobs, the paunch, the female rejection the overall self disdain, its all gotta go.

Back in August I started to eat better. Less meat, more whole grains, smaller portions, etc. So far its worked well enough, but recently I have stated to see the pounds come back on and I don't like that much. As a result I will be changing my diet even more and focusing on an exercise routine that I cant half ass or back out of. So here are the goals:

-20 lbs by March
-an additional 20 by my May graduation
-Overall target body fat percentage of 12% by the end of the year

In order to obtain these goals, these are the changes I am going to be making:

- Crossfit routine 4 times weekly. Routine can be seen here.
- Become a vegetarian for one year starting on the 1st of January. There are very minor exceptions to this such as fish, but otherwise, no meat for a year
- No baking for myself unless it is sugar free or healthy alternative
- No soda
- Cut sugar wherever possible
- One salad a day, minimum
- Double daily fruit intake
- No fast food (though this one was already pretty much the standard)
- Cut processed foods by at least half. This means ramen, mac and cheese, and pretty much anything that requires less than four steps to cook.
- Walk to class whenever weather permits

That should be enough, and thankfully this is all stuff that I can stick to easily.

This blog will serve as an incentive system for myself. With the masses of the internet watching, it would be harder for me to slack off on this plan. I'll be posting updates, at the very least , every week. These updates will include weight changes, exercise updates, and recipes from my new diet.

Should be good times, and I fully intend to make this interesting for everyone!

Here's to health.
