New Year, New Me; blah blah

 I've never been a fan of resolutions.  It usually just ends up making me feel like a failure by March.  But I want this time to be different.  It has to be.  I am 50 years old now and back at my highest weight range.  


What I'm doing:

  • I've started logging my food in Lose It app again.  As much as I hate to do it, they've made it easier than ever.  Not only can you scan barcodes of food, you can also speak into the app to log the food.  Can't get much easier than that.
  • 30 minutes of deliberate exercise.  My weapon of choice will be walking.  Anything else I do, will be lagniappe.  I've got to get the consistency roots to take hold, then I can concentrate on other things.
  • Make at least one blog post per month.  This one will be a bit trickier because, frankly, I forget about it.  

 

I'm sure I'll be adding to this eventually but for now, it's a start; albeit a small one.

I'm planning on doing a start post tomorrow of where I'm at.  I feel like I do way to many of those and lack the follow through.  This time needs to be different.  

Excuse the nasty pool.  That's a spring goal down the line.  We have to evacuate all the turtles first too.   My girl, Izzy loves joining me on my walks, even if it is just lapping around the pool.

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...
