How are you? I've kind of been feeling lately that I need to make
some kind of big change in my life. The problem was that I didn't
know what I wanted to change. Well, last night, and I'm not really
sure what it was about last night, but I decided what I need to do.

I'm going to get in the best physical health in my life. For the next
3 months I'm not going to drink at all, I'm going to go to the gym
every day, and I'm going to eat only healthy foods, ie. no restaurant
food or junk food. I know it's a lot easier to say something like that
than to do it, but I know that writing down a goal can make people a
lot more likely to achieve it. Something psychological happens when
you write something down.

Right after I finish writing this email, I'm going to go to the
grocery store and pick up a bunch of healthy fruits, vegetables, and
chicken breasts. I'm also going to buy a fresh "lemon and pear
juice". I found a new fresh juice place only a 5 minute walk from my
house. It's raining pretty hard now but I'm going to go anyway.
Usually in this situation I'd make some excuse because of the rain
and just stay in and order pizza. My diet has been getting worse
lately and I haven't been going to the gym as much as I used to. It's
so easy in life to get "caught up" in some lifestyle that you aren't
happy with. One thing I've noticed about living in a big city is that
drinking and eating relatively unhealthy food is a major part of
social society. I'm not at all against drinking or eating junk food,
it's just that I notice if someone wants to take a break from it,
it's pretty hard. I'm not making any excuses because I realize what I
do is my own personal choice. I just do notice that there is a lot of
subtle pressure to live an unhealthy life.
