It's been awhile, a long while. But that is the great thing about this, I didn't do it for anyone but me. I am now beginning to write again because I have challenged myself to make a positive change in my life. I am resolved to succeed.
I have been experience problems with digestion now for almost 8 months. I have gone to the doctors several times and haven't had anything very concrete come up. I am currently on medication which seems to be helping to some extent, but I've found what helped the most was eating better, and actually watching the quantity I consume.
I have a habit of stuffing myself full to the point of being sick at almost every meal. I prioritize food like no other. So about 2 weeks ago I begin counting calories. This so far has been the best I've made in a long time. However this weekend I failed. Hard, a birthday party, lots of beer, a late night large poutine and a pub dinner, put me at well over double my recommended caloric intake for the day (based on my calorie tracking program I am using).
That being said. I had lots of fun. So meh.
I've realised today though that I have very little going on in the next 2 weeks minus work and a visit from a very motivated and motivational friend on the weekend who is also counting calories and exercising. So I've decided to challenge myself. I am going to consume the healthiest food I can come up with (That I'll actually eat) for 2 weeks, and try to stay slightly under my calorie goal.
I will post my starting weight and measurements later today. WISH ME LUCK EVERYONE
I'll try to share my favourite recipes!
