Still Trying

Once my night class started last semester in late October, my life kinda got away from me. I still managed to go to kickboxing 2-3 times a week, but little else. My eating also didn't really go in a positive direction, either.

So here's the thing; I also went on a cruise and got home about a week ago. I really enjoyed the food, and was a little careful about my choices in activities and eating, but still overdid it some. And was sick the week before I went, and had my but planted on the couch all week.

So I have now ordered a gowear fit, which is basically a bodybugg, and am now logging my meals at myplate. I also just started the Core Essentials program, and will be at level 1C on Tuesday. Hopefully, all of these together will allow me to be more mindful of my choices and careful with them, and hopefully they will also make my goals easier to meet as well.

This better work, because my weight has reached an all-time high of 160. I'm still a little smaller around than when I was 157, because I'm a moderately in-shape 160 in comparison to a less in shape 157 (from 6 years ago), but it's still not a great place to be for my short body. My weight goal is fairly vague, but I want to lose 6 inches or more around my waist, and 4 inches or more around my hips. Myplate helps me to track this as well.

Hopefully my new toy will get here soon! The gowear fit will let me know how many calories I am burning, so it will probably spur me on to move more readily.
