Somewhere, Sometime February 26, 2011

I ended my last post with a few lines from the band Rage Against The Machine – It has to start somewhere, It has to start sometime.
This morning I decided that the somewhere was going to be HERE and the sometime was going to be NOW. So it is official. I am back on it. As of today, I am restarting my efforts to improve my health. Will it be easy? Not always. Will it be worth it? Absolutely! Am I ready? Uh, I think so. Am I doing it anyway? Yes I am.
This plan of mine had to start somewhere, and it had to start sometime. I started with the somewhere. I went to myfitnesspal.com and signed up, and even loaded the app for my phone to make it even easier for me. As for the sometime, I did all of this before breakfast. I wanted to get off to a good start today, and I didn’t want to put it off, just in case putting it off was as easy today as it has been for so many days over the past month or so. It had to start somewhere, It had to start sometime!
It has been a good day so far. Eating well, tracking my food on myfitnesspal.com and even drinking lots of water. Has it been a big change? Well, yes it has been. But a big change is what I am looking to do. I want to get rid of this extra 30, 40, 50, 60 pounds or so that I have been carrying around for too long. I am going to try to go about this the same way that I intended to when I started this blog about a year ago. I am going to break my goal into 5 pound increments and repeat 10(maybe even 13) times. I am 65 pounds away from one-derland, and I would love to go back there.
It has to start somewhere, It has to start sometime, What better place than here? What better time than NOW?
Whooo hooo! Glad to hear this…ESPECIALLY the myfitnesspal part! Hey add me on there my user id is craigversion2

Hey Craig, thanks for the info about myfitnesspal. I read about it on your blog and am liking what I see so far. Not making the best food choices yet, but eating less of it for sure.
