2018: let’s start again

I find myself here again after a very long hiatus. Almost 10 years since I blogged. I have had a wonderful 10 years overall, but reverted back to stress Mismanagement with food and back to needing to get my lifestyle with food  and exercise in order.  In addition I continue to be a workaholic and have not taken time off or very good care of myself physically or spiritually.

So here we go again.  

After a few false starts And some sage wisdom from Noni, I decided to go back to what worked last time I lost over 100 lbs.  Obviously I didn’t figure out how to manage well enough once I lost the weight, so that will take some doing.  But what worked for me was journaling and accountability with diet and exercise.  

So today Dec 2, I restarted my blog and joined Noom.  Diet and exercise will be tracked through the noom app, and I’ll shoot for a weekly journal to log my journey this time. I love instagram’s quick photos and updates and will try not to be the most obnoxious poster, but we will see.

Getting geared up for this first week of December with tons of work stress but will focus on my goals:

Goal 1: 30 min cardio 3x this week

My first goal is to bike or walk the beach for stress management at least 3 x a week.  

In order to do this I must leave work by 5, take at least 30 min to walk or bike prior to making dinner.  

Goal 2: healthy breakfast daily, no fast food

Tackle breakfast.  I eat Bojangles or other fast food most days.  This is stopping now.  My goal for this week is to eat at home or take breakfast from home every day this week.  

Goal 3: daily reading of God’s word

Daily bible readings.  My life is full with work, friends, family, and fun! I haven’t taken the time to read and focus on God and fulfilling his plan for my life.  This week I will listen to my daily audio bible app every morning on the way to work.

I’m an overachiever and want to keep going but will stop here now.  I’m so thankful for my life and the support and tools I have to accomplish these goals.  I know with God all things are possible so here we go!!
