Freshman 15
Stereotypically men are supposed to gain weight once they get married, since they go from eating a can of chili for dinner to a full homecooked meal. I have bucked that trend and lost a considerable amount of weight since my wedding day. When I went off to college, I gained the freshman 15 X 3! and it has taken me this long to get motivated enough to do something about it. What motivated me? Mostly the fact that I was about to have to buy new clothes cause my clothes were getting quite snug…the ironic part about this whole thing is that I STILL have to go buy new clothes, cause I’ve dropped so much weight. I originally set my goal as May 2010 to get into beach shape…In two months, I’m already almost halfway to my goal. [pats self on back] [clap clap clap] This has actually really motivated me seeing how much I can accomplish when I push myself.
