Sage2's Fresh Start Blog
Minimal blather today, but I'm RESTARTING my new run to the goal weight of 125. Official Sunday weight is 134, so that's the benchmark.
Methodology: Calories In/Calories Out.
Target Date: December 27, but as always I don't really care how long it takes to get to the goal.
This little personal bloggety blog will consist of a calorie and exercise log and weekly weigh-in data. I do weigh daily and log that data privately but Sunday numbers are my benchmark for the week. I will change the ticker only once a week.
I. Will. Succeed. Amen.

Calories 08/23/15: 2415
Exercise: 6,500+ steps; 10 min. calisthenics
Was trying for a lower cal count and didn't quite make it. But the calorie count was way lower than on last Sunday, so I'm taking this as a step in the right direction.

Giving myself kudos for things I did right today:
Went to class and then shopped for comfy jeans without buying any goodies
Stayed under 1800 cals
Hurt neck doing calisthentics (it's fine, just sore, but it isn't helping me) and rested half a day without overeating

   Calories 08/25/15: 2520
Exercise: 2,700+ steps; 10 min. very carefully modified and gentle calisthenics that mainly amounted to just a little stretching movement
Props to me for what went well today:
I updated my cals here from my earlier post, because honest tracking is the key to my calorie control program. Tonight was not a binge; I ate an extra meal because I was hungry. Recognizing that I am at a healthy weight, I do want to go back to the 120s as I feel best in that range, but I refuse to deprive self of food constantly to achieve that objective. However, cals are leveling down from last week so we'll see what we can do this week.
I also am proud that though in a lot of pain today (getting better, though), I pretty much dedicated the day to classwork and staying current and that will help my educational goals.
So here I go again, tomorrow is a brand new day with great possibilities on all fronts, including the calorie management front.

Exercise: 3,000+ steps
Negatives: Forget it, I don't believe in negatives. There are days we do great things and days we could do better. We learn or we are strengthened from both of them, or sometimes we just use them for a place to rest and regroup.
Positives:
Learned that I do not desire to give up caffeine entirely; I will just do better to moderate my intake in deference to my bone density.
Yesterday's cals were high but I am aware I ate a lot of things because I was dealing with caffeine withdrawal. It was a good experiment, but one I don't want to repeat. I JUST WANT MY CAFFEINE.
Daily weigh-in was below 134.
Today I woke up alive, and any day I do that is a good day, no matter what.
