The Beginning of No Excuses, No Compromise!!!!!

So I decided that today is finally the day that I give back to myself in a way that no one else can. I decided that there will be no more excuses or compromise on living healthy. My body deserves that type of gift. The trouble that I have always had any other time in my life when I have tried to make goals in any sort of way to become fit, lose weight, or any other way that I wanted to try to change my body, is I have never made myself accountable for the goals that I set for myself. Maybe you can relate, have you ever made a New Years Resolution with every intention of completing the goals that you wrote down, but because there was no one following up with you, by a month or two out you start forgetting what you were doing to complete your goal or forgot your goal altogether, and then had to reset your goals or make new ones altogether as well. Well that is my life with living healthy, especially when it comes to my weight and eating habits. But now, blogging here is the way that I will be finally accountable. I figured that the first 30 days is always the hardest for me to get through when I am starting a habit. So I will at least vow to blog every day on the following items for 30 days: what I eat throughout the day, what activities I do throughout the day (WOD's, Walking, Running, etc), at least once a week record my weight and evaluate the progress I am making, and posting any good tips or recipes I find along the way.

So here I begin with my first stats which are always the worst for me to let everyone else know what and where I am at and just how far I really ideally want to go and be, so here we go.

Height: 5 foot 4 inches
                     
Current Weight: 206 pounds
Waist (at navel): 48 inches              
Hips: 48 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Arms:14 inches
Thigh: 22 inches
Calf: 16 inches

Goal Weight: 135 pounds                
Total Weight Loss: 71 pounds

30 Day Weight Loss Goal: 12 pounds (6% of total weight loss desired)
30 Day Eating Goal: NO CHEATING and EATING ONLY PALEO!!!!! (I have to record what I eat every day whether I cheat or not, but if I do cheat then I fail, and I don't like to fail, it is not worth it either, no excuses can ever be made enough if I fail, so that will not happen.)

Here is a picture of what I look like as of right now. So I know I have a lot to go, but again, here is the starting of my accountability. If anyone else is interested in joining my challenge please let me know.

  3. I found you from the CF forum. I admire your dedication and know from personal experience that this stuff really, really works. I started CF and paleo 7 months ago and I was OUT OF SHAPE.
