Okay, I have been hyping about writing again for a few weeks. So here I am and real excited to talk about my journey now and weeks to come.
So I started back on my weight loss journey probably a month ago. I cannot lie, I was in a bad place. I was eating like crazy and not working out. It is so hard to tell yourself that overeating and gaining weight and being unhealthy isn’t worth the taste of taco Bell or cake. I am not wired like everyone else. I cannot just have a slice of this or a piece of that. I know this.
But read the last line I wrote, because this is the FIRST time in my life I started this journey not being all or nothing. This is the first time I decided that I will slip but it cant ruin my week or month. And I sat and I wrote down new rules for myself. Rules I will be sharing in the future.
So I started slow. I am a firm believer that tracking your food, if you are able to, helps you stay accountable. Its like a checking account but I never have. I would just eat fruits and vegetables and that is it. And that is the healthiest way but I cannot sustain it. I have proven that over the last 15 years.
So I am going slow. I am tracking my food. I am eating much less. I am slowly going back to the gym. If you have followed me for years, you know I loved the gym. Notice how I wrote loved. I fell out of it after the pandemic.
By the way, fuck the pandemic.
Anyway,
I have been slowly going back to the gym. Just a little at a time. But something happened this week. I wanted to go back. I didnt force myself. I was excited about going. And it is something I have not felt in a few years.
Anyway, I don’t want to give everything away just yet. I will be writing here a few times a week and will not put up a paywall so you can read about my journey. If you wanted to help my journey you could always give a little and “buy me a coffee” here.
But do far I am down 30 pounds. I feel better. I am walking more. I am not out of breath. And I am looking forward to the future…
And sharing it with you.
