I'm looking for my abs ...

... and there may be a reward if you find them. 

I'm trying something new this year. It's become a given for most that "get in shape" is somewhere on most people's resolution list. Unless you are already in shape or just don't care and will continue to stuff your face with sticks of butter and honey roasted turducken rolled in chocolate mounds of goo. For me, I have already begun the fantasy of summer 2009 which involves gravity-defying glutes and abs that double as a weapon. They say to get results that you should share your goals with friends. Well, I figured I would take it up a notch and shower my would-be fitness goodness all over my friends.

For 4 weeks, I'll be using the "Back on Track" food & exercise plan featured in the Jan/Feb Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine - http://www.muscleandfitnesshers.com/ It involves lots of protein, a painfully low amount of carbs and getting my to-be sweet bottom to the gym 4 times a week. I pseudo-started today by going to Whole Foods and spending $103 on heart & ab healthy foods. This means that (a) my refrigerator no longer looks like that of a bachelor who consumes only dijon mustard, beer, a single potato, and a strangely large amount of empty water bottles; (b) also that I am totally putting myself out there for complete and utter entertainment, which is usually more important than anything else; (c) there also may be pictures if [when] the abs resurface ... though this may be in like July. Maybe a birthday present to myself!? Hmmmm ... sounds nice.

On a side note, my friend we'll call "K" just messaged me and said he found my abs eating guacamole at Moe's Southwest Grill. This could explain where they have been. No reward yet, though!

I plan to get a jump on January and hit the gym tonight. It should be dead, because people don't want to be healthy until January 1 so I have 2 solid days before the mad rush! I am sucking down some Holiday blend coffee from Starbucks in hopes of getting through 30 minutes of cardio without having a heart attack.

Alright, people ... please join me for the next 4 weeks [or 3 days, if I happen to find something else shiny and pretty to entertain myself for the new year]. Please post comments if you want but try to keep the mockery to a limit. My abs can only handle so much torture.

I do not promise abs, but I do promise entertainment. Stay tuned!
