About Me and Why I am Doing this.

My name is Jake Owens. I am 5'10 and 175 lbs. I am making an attempt to change my lifestyle, and reach all my goals. Beginning January 5, I will be moving schools, and that is the day I have chosen to start my transformation. My first goal is to keep this blog for one year, showing my changes in the year 2009. I will make a list of my many goals on the sidebar here. I play 2 main sports right now, Baseball and Football. And I am beginning Track and Wrestling in 2009 at my new school. Some of my favorite hobbies are heated Yoga, Weight Lifting, playing ping pong, pick up basketball and reading inspirational books such as Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers", which is my favorite book. 

The reason I am keeping a blog is this, my life has been in a constant cycle of slacking grades, slacking sleep, slacking workout schedules, and slacking eating habits. I am sick of TOLERATING my life, I want something better than what I have, and this blog will keep my journey open and updated.
