My Advice To My Online Community

I'm a bad blogger...I'm sorry :(

BUT I have a few minutes, and I'm INSPIRED to begin anew! So...here we go.


Today I logged into my MyFitnessPal account and tracked my breakfast. I haven't done this in...it's been a while.

SHUT UP!

Anywho, with this super moon eclipse just around the corner, there has been this energy in the air that has just been pushing me to do SOMETHING, and I had a question from a friend on my account that I felt needed a good answer. The exact question asked by ealeal99 (username...duh) was, "Are you still using this? I use it off and on but really going to try to stick with it." My inspired response shocked even me, because I'm usually so scientific about the actual science of weight loss, and this response seemed to be such a mix of emotion and science. I think I may have analyzed myself to a point of change, so I thought I'd share my response:


"Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! Obviously, I have issues using this site/app consistently. BUT, when I do use it for weeks at a time, I get great results. The issue is dealing with the psychological issues surrounding health in order to do things consistently and make permanent changes for lasting results. Here's where I am right now. Step 1: Make a routine out of my meals. This makes them easy to track, easy to buy/budget, easy to analyze how your body reacts, easy to plan ahead, easy to know what to pack for when, and so on. It also makes you start thinking of your food in terms of fuel and not treats. And if you can throw in some extra veggies each day, GO FOR IT! I am literally starting over today, and today is a good day to begin anew, don't you think?"


That's about it! I hope you all have an inspired day as well. And today I CHALLENGE you to start something you want to finish with your whole heart!

And...GO!!!

Daily Check-In: Day 1

Alright, I had a good & healthy day today. Only 1215 calories consumed today. I woke up in enough time to get Level 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred done before work. I also had yoga-at-work class...and for future reference, Shred + yoga = dead arms! And to close my day, I did 20 minutes on my itty bitty bike pedals. I really wanted to hop on my elliptical, but got out of work late, and needed to eat before it got too late. So I took advantage of some phone time where I would usually just be sitting on my butt, or laying on my back relaxing.

Let's keep this trend up, shall we? Tomorrow is day 2! Usually the hardest of the days.

T2R List Continued:

• Vitamins are highly important. Must take my multi, Vitamin D, and Multi-Enzyme.
• Water is my best friend, but I need to mix it up more with tea, especially if I'm stuck at work...gets tiring really fast.

To be continued...

Not really a light-hearted note to end on, but pretty much a good thought to keep in mind.
