2012 is upon us.
I moved to Florida in 2008 and lived there unti late 2009....during that time I lost 117 pounds. I really lost 100 in the first 6 months. It was mainly due to my decision to get serious and focus on healthier eating and the IMMENSE support I got from my parents and my brother.
I have to say with your mind made up it is pretty easy to lose 100 lbs with that kind of help. Well, now I have been back home for a couple of years and while I have not gained back all of the weight I lost, I have gained back too much.
So, now, 2012.
I am going to get my focus back and prove to myself that I can be a healthier eater, on my own.
I am going to the doctor this Thursday, and will weigh in. I will not be posting my weight here, but I will be asking him if I can come in each Thursday morning before class to weigh myself in. I think this weekly weigh-in helps. And, having people there to report to, unofficially always motivates. I will be posted my weight change each week and will keep a running total at the top.
When I started in Florida 3 1/2 years ago, I created a food diary blog....it was called : http://changetracy.blogspot.com/
It helped, I kept track of what I was eating and it was another level of personal accountability. So I am going to start that again here. My healthier eating starts Monday, January 16th. I'll use the old one for meal ideas, etc.
Today, this is for me.
Eventually, I will share it with others so they can watch my progress.
Here we go.
