My Personal Health and Fitness Goals for 2010

    I'm beginning 2010 at 180 pounds, the heaviest I've ever been.  I weighed this much 10 years ago and through a healthy diet, stairmaster, and inline skating I dropped to 122 in just about a year.  Over 10 years my weight has crept back up to 180 and my waist has gone from 28 to 34.  I'm 10 years older, turning 44 this year, but the goal is the same: 130 pounds and a 30 inch waist in less than a year. 
    I'm going to start with the same exercise routines: stairmaster, inline skating, light weights throughout the day, and ab work to strengthen my core.
    10 years ago my diet followed a mostly Atkins style.  I ate Grape Nuts for breakfast and had bacon, eggs, or steak for lunch and dinner.  I drank only four liters of water everyday and took in no caffeine.  This time I will eat a vegetarian diet making sure that I get adequate protein.  My blood type is A and I have found that if I don't get enough protein everyday I am prone to headaches.
    I remember 10 years ago when I had to buy my first pair of 34 waist pants.  That was the tipping point for me.  Buying those 34's and looking at a closet full of clothes I can't wear has motivated me again.
