It's that Birthday Time of Year.......

So it's the first day of my 32nd year. How the day will go remains to be seen. Of course after lovely emails from HBB and birthday greetings from my peeps, how could it go badly?

Murphy's law......

Something about the Biggest Loser always gets my ass back in gear, so here I am again. With HBB gone, I have too much time on my hands any way. So I'm back to blogging. Yeah for blogging. It keeps me accountable. Of course dumb ass that I am gave the addy to friends and now I won't post my weight here. But have no fear, I'm tracking again. And the journey of the last 40 pounds has begun (again). Only it's more like 48 now. Yeah summer!

Nuts and bolts -- how am I tracking? how am I making change?

• Weigh-ins will be Monday and will be tracked on WW online (I'll post results in pounds lost here).
• The food -- as always will be healthy and good. I don't ever make restrictions on what I can eat -- though now, you can safely bet that fast food is RARELY a choice with the exception of Subway. My goal is to eat more veggies, less meat that I have no idea where it came from or how it's been treated. I am not a vegetarian by any means, but I do believe that we should have a respectful, mostly symbiotic relationship with our food and in my mind cruelty is never an option. I want to make sure what I'm eating is good and that I'm supporting sustainable, humane practices. That being said, I have a long way to go to get there. Maybe I'll have to start buying less of the good stuff instead of more of the sketchy stuff.
  
• Exercise will be at minimum 4 days a week. Obviously, times are tough and I can't afford PT. Nor do I think training every day is realistic or good for you. So 4 days a week with a possible 5th thrown in here and there for good measure. My goal this time is something sustainable -- a lifetime fitness plan.
• Change will be in the form of my attitude and mentality. This summer I let a lot of things slide -- even when the numbers were creeping up. And I didn't push the exercise issue when I should have. But you live and learn. And I've learned that I can no longer drink beer every night and stay the same weight. Who knew, right?
  

And that's it! Here I am, after falling flat on my face to start again. Happy birthday to me! Let's get this show on the road!

Love Always,
FGS
