Back to the grind after a fun (and food)-filled weekend spent with friends visiting from out of town. Way too much food that was not eaten in moderation, way too many Mike's Hard Limes (the extent of my alcohol drinking ever), way too much. Arrived at work this morning with a packed lunch, am pounding the water, and just gonna get through a late day at the office practicing that moderation stuff I'm working on.
The weekend was pretty bad but my goal for the week is to have maintained last week's weight when I weigh in Friday morning. To achieve that goal I'm logging my food and exercising 2x this week.

Wow I'm really doing this ...
I've done this so many times .. the infamous restart. Restart on weight loss. Restart on diet, restart on fitness, restart on LIFE. I've done this more times than I could possibly count in my 45 years. I've even started a blog a few times, thinking well if I commit to it in public I have to DO it, but I've never done more than 1 post.
So, to a new beginning. No judgments on those which have come before, just celebrating a new one.
Most weight loss bloggers ... I hate that term. Lets call this a "getting my act together and getting my ass healthy" blog, okay? Okay, so most bloggers of this type post their before pictures. I intend to have my mate take a before picture for me, but for now I'll just post a candid one from last summer. Its burned in my brain. Here it is ...
This picture is named "awful" for a reason. It explains fully how I felt when I saw it posted to Facebook by a friend. How is it possible that this is how the rest of the world sees me when I see me like this ...
Yeah, a major disconnect is obviously at work here.
Anyhow, this is my beginning point. Well, the first picture is. The second picture is someone elses midway point, but my goal is the self-confidence that exudes from that picture. My midway point will have that same self-confidence and strength and maybe, just maybe, that smirking tiny little smile when I see the old me trying to take over again. That woman can say, yeah bring it baby, I've got this. That's the woman I aim to be.
More to come. And if anyone is reading this and you don't see more coming, call me on it.
