I think it was just last month that I watched Crazy Stupid Love. I never liked Ryan Gosling prior to that. To be fair however, I didn’t know much about the actor (except that girls drool over him) and that was my first time watching his movie.
The movie was okay, I love Steve Carrell. Add to him Julianne Moore and Emma Stone, it was a worthy watch.
But then, there’s something about Gosling. To put it simply — he’s fucking hot! And I’m not a wee bit homosexual. His physique got my attention. And later gave me aspiration. I wanted to look like him!
While I’m pretty convinced that my face can’t be changed to look like him, my body can… well… at least I can give it my best shot.
I had a chat with a good friend a few days later, and coincidentally, he had watched the same movie a week earlier and came to the SAME conclusion. He wanted to look like him too! DAMN!
We codenamed this bona fide intention of ours Project Gosling, for obvious reason.
It’s gonna be tough. But this is my final attempt to NOT look like a typical 30-something man — like a blob who has given up hope on looking good and overall physical well-being.
Does this sound like another new year’s resolution? Hell no. I know now that an annual goal, usually set to start on Jan 1st and ends on Dec 31st, is moronic. If you do this, you are set to fail, simply because people function in days, not years.
What I’m gonna do is to have daily goals. Control what I eat and exercise. Off dexa, I now have better control of my appetite, but I am still very much vulnerable to occasional relapses. It is harder today than at any point in history to avoid food.
I definitely need help with the exercise bit. The reason for my laziness was because I had no motivation, no incentive to exercise. Just 30 mins on the treadmill would give me a flash of hell. Because of this, I am hiring a personal trainer and I hope he’s one mean motherfucker who would motivate the shit out of me. As for the incentive, well… I have always liked to be different, often borderlining weird. I want to look good among my mostly fat and flabby friends. Hahaha… not so bona fide anymore aren’t I?
Barely a month after I watched Crazy Stupid Love I already lost a few kilos. I can already feel the difference. My body is adapting to this new lifestyle which I intend to make permanent.
I must thank Ryan Gosling for this newfound inspiration. I also watched Blue Valentine 3 weeks ago and I liked it.
