Weight of the World 1: Let the games begin

OK, so new year's resolution blah blah get fit blah blah lose weight blah blah develop a little hamstrings length etc.

Jumped on the talking scales today and they said "One at a time please." Or they would have.

Currently I am 130.4kilos, or 287.4 pounds

Now, I'm 6'3 and a half, so BMI isn't necessarily entirely accurate (apparently above 5'10" it gets wonky), BUT that is akin to saying "I'm not obese, I'm just short for my weight." My fighting/running weight is 100kilos or so, which I haven't seen for about 5 years.

So, what is to be done? Er, stop stuffing my face so much and get on the stepper a lot more.

Weekly progress to be charted on this blog.

Recycled resolutions

One of the few advantages to being a 'rabid environmentalist' - alongside the smugness and comfort of the anticipation of saying "I told you so" to fellow scavengers of out-of-date tinned food in 20 years time- is that you get to recycle resolutions.

And many of them, from the tail end of 2007, have hardly been used at all!

So, the usual stuff about a less chunky (ahem), fitter Dwight for this year, there's saving money for the Big Trip, reading (and co-blogging) the King James Bible, writing a lot, including the following-

• The Bourne essay
• The Facebook essay
• The Mindlab piece
• The "C words" piece
  

and The Book,

all this alongside reading the prescribed list.

And being a nicer person, natch.
