So here I am at the beginning. I have done "diets" before, but they usually just entail feeling bad about the bad stuff I'm eating at the time and hoping to shame myself into eating right.
Not this time!
Nope. I'm actually COMITTED this time!
AND I'm exercising too!
The sad fact is that I live a pretty sedentary life aside from work. And really work is just a lot of standing around. And the real truth is that I DO eat pretty good, so long as I eat at home...
AND SO LONG AS I DON'T HAVE DESSERT WITH EVERY MEAL...
So Caleb and I comitted to exercising three times a week, and we only get to have sweets on weekends and holidays.
My sister-in-law showed me this website where I log in my meals and it calculates caloric value, taking into account calories burned during exercise. And I'm noticing that it's kind of a pain to log in snacks, so I have been refraining from most snacks AND staying below my caloric allottment.
To be honest, I want us to do this, not just to look better, but I want to live better and to have more energy for life, and to increase our years of life together.
