To begin anew (again)

I laid my plans out in yesterday's post but today is all about where I'm at now.

I took my "Starting" photos.  Naturally I hate them but for accountability purposes, here we go.



260.  That is what I weigh now.  How the heck did this even happen?  I guess like everything, it slowly creeps on you until you are smacked in the face with reality.  Do I really look like this?   Rhetorical question, because, yes I do.  Time to lace up those shoes and get this lifestyle change started.  

Day 1 of at least 30 minutes of exercise is done!

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...
