Well folks, it's been a slice. I almost made it a day and I am soooo done with this! I just poured myself a big glass of wine and am about to have a monster slice of chocolate cheesecake......KIDDING!!!

So day one is almost done and I am pretty happy with myself. No, let me try that again, I am VERY happy with myself! I added a couple apps to my phone, My Fitness Pal and Fitbit. Please feel free to add me, we can be health buddies. I really like the Fitness Pal app and I added the foods I ate onto it. Did you know that one of the mini caramel cream eggs has 55 calories in it? That's nuts, I had one today but whatever, it was delicious! And I drank and am drinking lots of water, more than usual, I can tell cause I had to take a lot of potty breaks today. So I just need to keep it up and exercise and I'll be buying smaller pants before I know it!

Now I think I'll have a tea and some pineapple and call it a day, sleep is important too. And my late night blogging fun last night sure caught up to me today.

Will update again in a couple days!

So here I am, 11:16pm and I have to work tomorrow and at this hour, I decide to create a blog...I'm a smart one! So I am not sure if you read my awesome Facebook post, if not, here it is for your viewing pleasure:
"Between bad eating habits, enjoying too much wine and not exercising enough, I am at a point in my life where I am realizing I need to make some changes to be a healthier me. I know this is corny but after watching the Olympics and seeing what those athletes can do, I am sure that I can exercise regularly and eat better. My Birthday is coming up so this is my early present to myself, I am going to give myself the gift of health and happiness which may not feel like a gift at first but it's something I need to do. I am even thinking of starting a blog so I can track my progress and make that shit real. Oh and I am looking forward to buying smaller pants and not having arm jiggle."
This crazy idea is what started the idea of a blog...oh and BTW, I talk (write) a lot. Anyway, I like too many things that are not so good like poutine, wine, pizza, watching really bad reality shows, wine, sushi, nachos, watching Netflix, potato chips, wine and spending too much time on the computer...big surprise there! So yes, I like to eat, drink and sit which is a winning combination, well maybe not "winning" but it's enjoyable. Because of all the eating, drinking and sitting, there is now more of me than there has been before. And my pants don't always fit...been adjusting the good ol' belt and sucking in the gut, sorry but there is no fancy way to put that. Well now I am tired of it, I feel like a teletubby and/or like that clip of Honey Boo Boo when she shakes her belly flab, I can do that too! I want to have pants that fit, I don't want to be worried about heart disease or diabetes, I want to be able to wear a bathing suit or bikini and feel good about it, I don't want arm jiggle and I want some better habits...dammit wine, why can't you taste like warm milk?
I have started this blog to track my journey. I am almost at the young age of 33, compared to some of my counterparts, I am still a kid. But I need to make a change; a happy and healthy change. This blog is a great way to do so as you can call me on it if I am not keeping up to the challenge. And I will be honest, I will post pictures, and will tell you about what I have been doing exercise wise and even how many bad habits I've indulged in. It's a little bit scary as it makes me vulnerable but clowns are scarier so I think I'll be okay.

But now it is almost midnight and I am going to go to bed so I can function as a human at work tomorrow and not a zombie. My goal tomorrow is to bring a balanced lunch and drink lots of water. And will decide on an exercise regime.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned...this is gonna get crazy!!
