I am super excited to start this blog. This may sound lame, but who does not want to be excited about life? For far too long, I let the idea of exercise and eating healthy be a daunting task that was unpleasant and overwhelming.
The day started with a protein raspberry chocolate smoothie. You may be thinking to yourself that sounds a little too healthy. Full disclosure here, I put chocolate pudding in my smoothie. It was tasty and in line with my motto to enjoy the process. The day ended with me being slightly over my calorie goal and not quite hitting my macros. Tomorrow I will set the goal to be no more than 20 calories over my desired calorie amount.
I have been using the MyFitnessPal app to track nutrition and weight. From now on, I will be doing this every day and posting my food and weight at the end of the day for accountability. Soon, I will be taking photos to measure my progress in the coming weeks and months. I’ve also been toying with the idea of posting videos, but YouTube is making me wait to make videos because it does not believe that I am not a robot, and I assure you, if I were a robot, I would not be trying to lose weight; just saying. I have never made videos, so this should be interesting and fun.

Overall Thoughts about the Day
Today wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies, as I had somehow imagined I ended the day in a bit of pain. I was going to go for a walk, but I think that I will settle for some yoga for pain relief. The critical thing is that I am doing something to stay active and stay in line with my goals being too hard on yourself is the fastest road to disappointment tomorrow; I will start fresh and hopefully not in pain. See you there 🙂
