A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The journey continues

I'm trying to find my way again.  I've gained 63 pounds of my 87 that I lost.  This is insane to me and at the same time I know where each pound came from.

I will never be able to recreate the circumstances that helped me lose and be active last time.  My life is different.  I'm different.  This journey will be it's own.  I know that I have the same tools to help me and I'll use them.  Life is just different now.  This time, the journey will not end.  This journey will continue beyond a goal weight.  This journey will be about an active life.  This journey will be about a healthy life.  A life without excessive sugar.  This journey will involve my family.  My kids who aren't active, I hope will change and be active with me.  This journey will take me to my next decade.

I have learned a few things that are necessary for me to be healthy and happy.
1.  I need a positive attitude.
2.  I need to move.
3.  I need to plan.
4.  I need to track what I eat.
5.  Water is essential.

My weight will be used along the way to show progress.  I know that's important.  I will also used measurements.  I will set goals.   I will achieve my goals!

One of the biggest helps from my previous journey was journaling.  I know this was an important key.  I know it kept me on track.  It kept me focused.  I will journal each day.  I will record my successes, my downfalls, my activity level and maybe even my new favorite meals.

Adios!  Have a great day!
