Responsibility 199, what is it?

Responsibility 199 is a belief; I believe that to be healthy and to increase my longevity I need to weigh 199 pounds or less...
Responsibility 199 is a need; I need to reduce my weight, reduce my percentage of body fat, and the elevated threat of disease my present condition presents...
Responsibility 199 is a mission; I recognize that achieving 199 will be a challenge, perhaps the hardest I have ever undertaken...
Responsibility 199 is a commitment; I acknowledge that I must commit to action, commit to change, commit to myself and those I love to achieve this mission, to increase my longevity...
Responsibility 199 is ME.

Day 382 - What Would You Prefer?

Having a great week here; how about you?

As tempted as I am to not say anything about the picture there, I shall. This is one of those posts where I didn't have a corresponding picture immediately come to mind. Certainly I could have found something that goes along with the main topic below, but I'm just not in a symmetrical mood. Instead, you get a random picture today. There I am with Eeyore back in the summer of 2002; easily 310 if not 320 pounds I was then. I didn't care, i was hanging with EEYORE! Reflecting today, one of us seriously needed to consider more salads and less buffets.

Back to 2011, after four consecutive days of getting in the exercise, today will be a day of rest. Four on, one off; seems like a ratio one would adopt if serious about getting results. We'll put that to the test here and look to maintain that ratio going forward.

When comparing how I feel, how I think, how I perform when I choose to exercise consistently vs. when I choose to do my Jabba The Hut impersonation; it is easy to realize that I prefer myself when I exercise consistently.

That's me, what about you; what would you prefer...
Living without music or without T.V.?

Drinking a cup of mustard or ketchup?

Having a beautiful house and ugly car or an ugly house and beautiful car?

Running a marathon or giving a speech before a thousand people?

Exercising consistently or getting your Jabba The Hut on?

Having x-ray vision or bionic hearing?

Being the sand castle or the wave?

Being related to Charlie Sheen or Charlie Brown?


Have Fun being Healthy & Happy today!

  1. LOL, I think myself as well as others prefer me when I'm consistently exercising...I'm much easier to live with. No TV (in fact shut off our satellite), EW, I have a beautiful house and an UGLY car ;), marathon (been there, ran that), Exercise, bionic hearing (there's certain things I just don't want to see), the wave, Charlie Brown fo shizzle.

  4. We were both on the consistency theme, weren't we!!! YES!

    I think I need TV cause I get my comedy on with that & music channels too! ;-) I will take a nicer house over a car as long as the car is reliable. NEVER Charlie sheen!

    The others - still thinking although I may take the speech cause my feet would not let me do a marathon anyway!

  5. First, Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th Be With you!

    Secondly....a real, grown-up Eeyore?! Where did you meet him?! I want to go!!

    What a difference in weight in that photo. That's a great "before" photo of you. You have shrunk significantly, mister! Keep up the good work!

  8. I like myself when I'm exercising too. It haven't liked myself as much lately. I'm going to try to get on the treadmill and the glider today. Maybe it will motivate me to do it every day. I feel better when I'm doing something.

  9. I love Eeyore and I have a pic just like this of myself. :)
    I could never give up TV. I'd prefer ketchup to mustard, but either way-yuck! I would prefer giving a speech to a marathon right now, but I dream of a time when I'd have the choice to do both. Obviously I prefer exercise every day. I want to be the wave. And CLEARLY Charlie Brown would be the better relative. I don't know where you get this stuff, but I like it!

  11. I'd live without TV, i -need- music
    Drink a cup of mustard, less calories
    drive an ugly car, they have more character
    do the public speaking deal, I've already done this
    Exercise, fat is miserable
    be able to hear everything, I have significant hearing loss and being able to hear everything would make music even better.
