Today marks one year of my changes. One year of watching what I eat and making better decisions. One year of improving my physique. One year of living healthier.
I did not meet my goal. My original goal was to lose 100 pounds in 1 year. My final tally was a little over 70 pounds lost in 1 year. Not too shabby, not my goal though. And though my performance as an athlete has improved, I've had a number of setbacks recently which leaves me feeling like I'm starting to fall behind...
So, I need something to mark one year that I can use as a springboard. I've done well at blogging my recipes, but often times, I either make something "from the standard pile", which means I've either blogged it before, or it's not interesting enough to document. And I've falled behind in tracking on SparkPeople. I still make good choices, but I'm guessing my totals, so there are days I'm sure I go above my totals, and days I go below.
So, for April, I am challenging myself....Every night, I will document what I made/ate for dinner. For one month, I will be completely open and honest about my choices, my cooking, and my feedback. A couple caveats/rules:
1. So, first hurdle is that during the month, we'll be in DISNEY! So, already I have to account that I won't have the exact nutritionals for every meal. That was bound to come up for nights where we eat out anyway. I'm going to do my best guesswork
2. I probably won't go in and blog every night. But, I'll do it at least two times a week and either do a summary post that combines nights, or just back date posts
Anyone intrigued? Listening? If you can think of other challenges, bring them at me. The whole "blog for whatever pops into my head" idea is kind've putting this thing into the recycling bin of the internet and I'd like people to be interested in what I write about, so consider this my polling of the audience to see who's listening!
I suck at updates.
