Hi there, folks. I have several simultaneous problems. First, I have a DVD-buying addiction. I'm not a rich man, and I work 40 hours a week, but I've accumulated a LOT of DVDs I've never watched. See that number up there at the top of this page? That's almost 9 1/2 DAYS' worth of DVDs.
Second, I'm overweight. By my (admittedly amateur and poorly-researched) calculations, I'm about 50 pounds over my ideal weight. This qualifies me as "obese," and the excess poundage makes me feel both older and warmer than I actually am. The hot-naturedness is the more immediate problem, as I live in the state of Georgia.
So, I borrowed my friend's treadmill and over the next year I hope to rid myself of both the pounds and the video backlog.
Here are the rules I'm hoping to follow: I want to average at least an hour a day on the treadmill, and my math indicates at least 40 credited minutes a day. (The time total only counts main features on DVDs, but I'm going to watch about every special feature on every DVD too.) I'm not allowed to buy myself any more DVDs until the backlog is completely gone, not even at tremendous bargain prices.
I probably won't post every day, but this is the world's first combination movie-review-and-weight-loss-blog. Every time I complete a DVD, I'll post my statistics for that disc's worth of watching/walking. Let's see how long I can keep this up.
