New Year, New Me… A Little Late?

It’s never too late to start a resolution is it?

I never ever start New Year’s Resolutions, mainly because I never stick to them. Plus, I’m not trying to get into the gym with all the other resolutioners lookin’ all crazy.

I moved to North Carolina about one year ago and have really “let myself go” as far as eating right and exercising. Somehow I have ballooned up to the highest weight I have ever weighed, and I am no longer okay with it.

When I first moved here I was doing pretty good with my eating and my exercising. In fact, I looked pretty good! As I got comfortable though, I started cheating with my favorite indulgences… IPAs, wines, fast foods, burgers and of course I stopped running and working out. 🙁

I don’t regret it, it was fun! But now it’s time to buckle down. I’m going to blog about my experiences, what works for me and what doesn’t. I’m not following a strict workout plan or diet, just seeing what I can do one day at a time. I think blogging about my journey will keep me accountable.

Time for me to start!

For the past couple of weeks I started eating a little bit better, but still TOTALLY cheating on the weekends cancelling everything out.

I did start doing a couple of outdoor walks a couple of times a week, sometimes twice a day.

Today I decided to stop being lazy. I got out of my bed and I completed my first outdoor run in about a year. It wasn’t the best run I had ever completed, but I got almost 3 miles done.

Starting weight: 210 lbs.

My next blog post will be about apps I am using to help me keep track of my exercise and food/water intake. What has worked for you? Do you have any suggestions for me? Please let me know in the comments below or hit me up on social media.

Stay up to date with my blog and see what I am up to… plus maybe get or share a tip or two along the way!
