Hey there, so this is my first post here. I've been looking for a place to keep a fitness journal, and this is where I've ended up. I'm excited to get started here and I'll start by writing a little bit about myself.
I'm 26, about to be 27. I used to be pretty fit, but gained a lot of weight during a really bad part of my life. Even when I first gained the weight I used to be pretty active, but over the last few years of being heavy have lost that activity and am now just unhealthy.
There are a lot of things that go with the weight that contribute to me being a pretty unhappy person. But I know that happiness is something I have to choose to have, and many things in my life are in my control if I am willing to work for them.
I live in a home with other people, so I can't always control what food comes in the house. I am unable to keep my food separate so I'm going to be working mostly on calories, getting exercise, and making habit changes. There may be some unhealthy food in there but I will be trying to make better choices where possible.
I really need a place to post things about my feelings, just basic things about what I've done throughout the day towards my goals, etc. So I am hoping this will work out for me.
I for a few weeks have tracked as close as possible how many calories I eat in a day. My weight has been stable, high, but stable for a few years, so I figured that was a good place to start. I pretty consistantly consume around 4,000 calories a day. So, I'm going to start with making sure I get under 3,500 and getting exercise.
GOALS:
- Some form of exercise every day
- Under 3,500 calories each day
- Keep a detailed journal
- No Soda
