FRESH START

Each day that I blog, I am mostly talking to myself.  I often trying to convince myself of something. During a nearly 10 year period that I ballooned from 220lbs all the way up to 309lbs my blog, had one existed, would have been the same every single day.  I am disgusted with myself, and I am going to start to change my life tomorrow.  Those sentiments that I had every day for nearly 10 years ended on December 24, 2014.  On that day, a decision was made to make big changes in the way I conducted myself on a daily basis.  There has been much progress and plenty of setbacks. One area which has been without setback is my new habit of exercising each day. I am proud of the fact that I have made this lifestyle change. It does take a lot of effort, sometimes it takes a bit of planning - but I have missed very few days of exercise during the past 13 months. In fact, I am certain, that my exercise might even be more effective if I gave myself more days off. However, since this is the part of my lifestyle change which seems to have been the most sticky - I am unwilling to mess with it. 

Overeating is still something that I fight.  Although my 'career' at all the fast food joints that I visited so frequently has absolutely ended - I have discovered that one can still eat too much. And just because I have shied away from the chips and Hostess Cakes that I used to eat non-stop during the day - one can still eat too much granola and other so-called 'whole foods.'  I simply need to do a better job of keeping my calories down.  It almost feels like I need a fresh start.
