A new beginning again...

I've done this every few years now for the past decade. I get really faithful and lose some serious weight, gain some back over the next year or two and get back on a healthier plan. I weigh about fifty or sixty pounds less right now than my highest high about ten years ago. Of the fifty or so that I lost in 2011 I have kept 35 of it off. I'm not starting in a bad place right now.

There are a few things that are going to be more convenient this time around. There are a few extra motivations.

  • I've moved and instead of living 35 miles away from my gym the gym is about two blocks away. Instead of living 40 miles way from fresh veggies and produce I live about 1/2 a mile away.
  • I have more free time now because I no longer have to commute far for work therefore I have more time for exercising.
  • My current job requires me to climb stairs multiple times a day.
  • I'm about to see my family for the first time in a year and half so I would like to be looking good when  go see them and I have just enough time to do that.
  • I'm at a point where I need to balance my life and having a goal outside of work to focus is very needed.

To Do list for today -

  • Make menu for the week
  • Cook some items to have on hand for the week
  • Make a new excel tracker
  • Make a fitness plan
  • Post goals where I can see them - Post reasons for my goals
