I like to
document things. I kept track of a lot of the above stats in my Erin Condren Life Planner. This planner is great and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a versatile paper planner. (The link above is my referral link and if you purchase a planner I get $10 store credit and so do you!, just so were all on the up and up.)
I started
packing on the lbs this summer and I just didn’t have the motivation/willpower
to figure my sh*t out. I knew what I needed to do, but it was just actually
DOING it. I kind of hit a breaking point when I went for my yearly check up in
early October and I weighed a weight I haven’t seen on the scale in almost 8
years.
I started
logging into MyFitnessPal daily and tracking all of my food. I also spent about
5-10 minutes on Sunday evening planning my workouts for the week and when I
would be eating out that week in my planner. I have been eating serving sizes instead of
bottomless amounts of candy and chips. I leave food on my plate or take home
leftovers. OH! and I haven’t been drinking as much beer. Vodka soda lime
(VSL’s) is my new BFF.
The easy
part has started, the hard part will be maintaining. I have thought for so long
that you can’t eat out when you are losing weight. Having a social life is
impossible, etc. etc. I feel like I had so many things that could have majorly
derailed me, but I kept at it. I allowed myself to enjoy my vacations and enjoy
my time with my friends. Once back home from the trips or after a weekend of way too much fun, I picked up where I left off.
