Unfortunately, one of the side effects of owning your own internet empire business is that you sit in front of a computer 16 hours a day. The side effect of that, about 40 extra pounds over the last 7 years.

Now, I have to do something about it, as the blood pressure is getting out of control, and with my Scotch-Irish background I have an irrational fear of looking eerily similar to Mike Myers in a fat suit.

So follow along with me over the next 6-8 months as I try to get down to my fighting weight of 185 by the new year, (I am currently at 238) That seems like a somewhat irrational goal to lose 53 pounds in that short amount of time, but what the hell, never hurts to try.

This is just something I have decided today, so I will be posting about my experiences, what I do, and what the results are. I dont even know yet how I am going to do it, but over the next week or so I will post all my expectations and what I am doing now and what I am going to change in order to effect such a drastic change in a fairly short time.

Remember that whatever I do, has to fit into my schedule and the fact that I am basically desk bound for around 12 hours every day at a minimum. This means I cant do some crazy three hours a day of exercise, no fad diets either as I am going to try to affect permanent lifestyle changes, not lose some weight then gain it back etc. I am off for this evening to do some research.
