I did not expect today to go well because I was in a lot of pain. I also had to work my second job this afternoon which can e a trigger for me to overeat. I am happy to say I did great! Not only did not overeat, but I also got quite a few steps. My goal is 11,000 per day but I ended with just under 9,000 steps!

Coming Soon

I will be posting videos and more content! YouTube finally decided that I am not a robot. I am hoping to post my first video tomorrow. Can’t wait!

June 1,2023

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 🙂

A Health Journey With A Fun Twist

I am Vanessa and I don’t like to work out and love junk food. What am I doing creating a fitness blog? The answer is simple, I am creating a space for accountability to get healthy and have a great time doing it. Bland salad and hour long workouts are not for me. If they are not for you, you’ve found your people.
