Beginning Again

This isn't the first time and it won't be the last, but I am jumping on the "weight loss" bandwagon again. 

Since the pandemic and getting my desk job, I have let myself go. Not caring about my weight as long as I felt okay. Well, I decided that not feeling terrible isn't good enough anymore. I want to start living my best life. 

That means I need to work on my diet and lifestyle. For me, this means I will be tracking my food intake and keeping under a calorie limit each day. 

My goal, right now, is a pound a week. Not going to measure out how many weeks it will take to get to my goal! I also want to think of some non-scale goals I have. I think the biggest one is to feel better about myself in pictures. Here are two from our Florida trip. I HATE the way I look. Lets hope by the time we go back, I can feel better about the way I look. 

So, my first goal is track my food daily, even if it means I am "going over." There will be no cheat days because I am going to allow myself to eat treats as long as they go in the food log. 

If you want to help me stay accountable, feel free to add me as a friend on My Fitness Pal. I will try to journey my progress here, but my motto for this is going to "strive for progress, not perfection." That's what I'm going to do, I am going to make steps toward being healthier, one step at a time.
