My birthday is the second week of April, which is about 15 weeks from now. As a husband, father, family and community member, business owner, MBA student and active member of the LDS Church, I have way too many things going on in my life. But it’s a New Year and I’m bound and determined to do something about the weight I’ve accumulated during the past decade.
So I’m going on record: I will lose 20 pounds by April 15. I think it’s a perfectly legitimate and achievable goal.
Yes, it will be difficult, but I feel like now’s the time to be proactive instead of just maintaining the status quo and waiting another year-and-a-half for when I’m out of school and will have more ‘free time’ (as if there’s really such a thing). Feel free to comment and provide helpful food and exercise tips, or just tell me how crazy you think I am. Also, I’d love to hear your personal goals for the New Year.
