Erm, Hi There

So, its been a minute, eh?  

Life is weird like that.  You blink and its a year later and so much has happened.  You get older, more content and along with that, lazy.  And you gain weight.  And by you, I mean me.  

It's bad.  Really bad.  

I stepped on the scale for the first time in ages a week ago.  257.8.  A new all time high.

Along with the scale, I've been wearing size 3X shirts and 24W pants.  I saw everything creeping up and told myself each step, I need to reign this in and no more buying new clothes.  And well, that didn't happen.

The plan:

So I've been logging my food consistently for a week now through the LoseIt! app.  I've been debating with myself on if I want to pay for the premium and I think I will do so soon.  That way it will also allow for extra logging things like water and syncing up with Fitbit too.  

Speaking of fitbit, I'm moving around a bit more than I have been.  Its been hot and my work no longer allows walking inside the building for covid purposes so I am having to use other means for exercise.  I did manage to get out one day before it became scorching for exercise.   We have had a tremendous amount of rain lately and my boyfriend's pool has taken a hit.  We are trying to get it back in shape so hopefully I will be able to start doing laps this afternoon,  

I'm also trying to be more conscious of drinking water and this week has been a huge improvement on that.  

After 1 week of being mindful, amazingly enough I stepped on the scale this morning and it was 252.2!  

Amazing what paying attention what goes into your body will do.  Now to slowly increase movement!

It's been a year of self-fulfillment, happiness and life going in the right direction.  Now its time to get the weight under control.








I know it's only been a week but I am finally feeling motivated again.  Now I just want and need the accountability.  Hopefully I'll be more consistent with posting.  I've missed it.

Hope my 3 blog friends out there are doing well.  I've missed you!  And welcome to anyone else who manages to stumble in here!

Goals and a start date

So I signed back up with Bloglovin.  That way I can get back to reading and interacting with my fellow bloggerfriends.  Link is below: Follow my blog with Bloglovin Having bloggerfriends who share the same struggles and victories is a huge motivation for me and I know that will be an important step along my journey. I've been doing a good bit of thinking this week as to how I want to proceed and I have a very rudimentary game plan I believe. I need to get back to logging my food.  Time to dust off My Fitness Pal again.  I know the numbers will not be pretty. I am and always have been pretty okay with eating the same thing day in and day out, so eventually (hopefully) this will become second nature again.  I'm also in the process of eliminating junk food from my house (oh god, why is there so much of it?  I kid... I know why...I'm the asshole who bought it all).  rebootingdes is my name there.  Feel free to add me if you want. Exercise.  Y...

Fat Pants

Image
So back in 2014-2015, when I had my first real successful lifestyle change (65 pounds down and I kept it off for roughly 2 years), I set aside a pair of pants that were designated as my "fat pants" or my pants that I would use to show my weight loss eventually.  Because I didn't quite make my all time goal back then, I never took "the picture".  You know the one where you smile proudly as you can fit your entire body in one of the pants legs?  Anyhoo, those pants sat in the back of the closet.  I would see them from time to time and even as I started gaining the weight back, I never quite had the desire to want to even take them down, much less put them back into the "rotation".  Until yesterday. I didn't get to laundry last weekend like I normally would have done and I ran out of jeans for work.  I managed to catch a glimpse of them. I thought to myself that there is no way that they would fit.  That even though I've gained all the weight back...

Mid-Week Roundup

I'm totally on a 2 day streak with exercise!  I cannot even begin to tell you the last time that happened.  (Maybe 2016...?)   Anyways, it has not been much; but it's better than nothing. Yesterday I did a fitness blender youtube video 30 minute workout and today I got a mild inspiration and decided to google see if I can find any walking through Disney World videos and lo and behold, there are!   On a side note, I am the most uncoordinated person in the world when it comes to fitness videos but hers were very easy to understand and follow even if I looked like a baby giraffe trying to learn to take her first steps.  Worked up a nice sweat also! The Disney Video I found was on The DIS's youtube channel and it was a 4K walkthrough of Galaxies Edge in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World!  I thoroughly enjoyed marching in place and pretending I was there, all the while soaking up my A/C.  It's been blistering hot here - 95º today so it will b...
