My Diet - again

So if you’ve known me for any length of time, you know my weight fluctuates nearly as much as Oprah’s…  and I recently noticed an odd correlation to my charted weight with the 5 year NASDAQ chart.

So it’s time again for me to take the financial sector to it’s knees with another diet.

Last year about this time I started a diet and managed to lose 65 pounds.  I did it using a diet comprising of extremely bland food in exactly measured quantities with little exercise.  It worked great for 6 months, but as soon as I got sick of the crappy food, I started regaining weight.  I’m still netting 20 pounds less this New Years than last New Years, but all those clothes I bought at my low no longer fit.

So time to get back on the wagon.  I really think I need to get back to the gym, so I’m going to start doing this with good exercise regimen.  Also, I’m going to try to do it with a little less effort on measuring what I eat.  I’ll just stay away from the bad stuff and stick to more of the good stuff.  We’ll see how it goes.

The biggest diet change though that I’m going to make this year though is that I’m going to do this in public.  I’ve created a new twitter account http://twitter.com/jasonsdiet where you will be able to track my progress.  I’ll be tweeting from there throughout the diet, but more importantly my daily weigh-ins will be automatically tweeted from my new twitter enabled scale.  I won’t be able to lie about it, even if I wanted to.

I’m calling out to my friends and family who are out there reading this.  Please help keep me accountable.  Diet starts Saturday and tweets should start rolling through on Tuesday.
