THE BEGINNING: Starting the Journey

The primary reason that I am starting this blog is for accountability.  At this point, I am at an all-time high.  Never weighed this much in my life, not even during pregnancy. 

Starting weight: 259
Pants size: 20-22
Shirt size: 2X
Shoe size: 9-9.5 (depending on type)

I do not do anything specific to monitor food in-take, or exercise.  These are changes that need to be made, and followed.

Main goals are listed below:

• Follow a meal plan
• 2-3 tsps fiber per day
• exercise 4 days per week
• drink 9 glasses of water daily
• Log food intake with MyFitnessPal
• Wear fitbit flex

I plan to start a healthier eating plan on December 26th (day after Christmas).

Using my FSA funds to pay for a gym membership at LA Fitness.  Really excited about using
the "row machine". Have to wait til Jan 1st to start.

When a product catches my attention, it will be posted on the blog.  It could be anything from products, fitness equipment, to books. 

Looking forward to sharing my experience (ups and downs) with everyone.

Product Alert: Coconut Sugar & Flour

For those of you who want to sweeten your food the natural way, Earthfare now carries Coconut Sugar.  Coconut Flour is available, also. 

Product Alert: Coconut Oil

I want to use coconut oil for cooking, but don't want to buy a jar of it.  BI-LO carries a
non-stock cooking spray.  Now, it just needs to be added to my shopping list.
