Let the games begin!
Okay, so I kinda have a gameplan for this...'journey'. Every day I will make a note of everything I eat and the calorie content therein, as well as tracking thoughts and tips and ideas and recipes and such. Whether it tastes good, bad, easy to cook, blah blah blah. I'm trying to be helpful, yah?
Also I will track different exercise plans, activities, ideas...real world things, videos, reviews, et cetera. I guess I am just being a little vague because I am kinda flying by the seat of my pants. So....let's go!

Revelation
I must effect the change I want to see in my world. How poignantly cheesy. So...what does that mean?
Well...I was hit by a very very startling fact that I have long been denying. Last night, upon arriving home from the supermarket, where I had purchased the infamous 'scale', I decided to step on it.
The number that appeared on the small digital screen was enough to leave me breathless. Somehow, by neglecting to simply be aware, I have managed gain a LOT of weight. I almost don't want to put it in black and white on the screen, but this blog is going to become my confessional and my form of accountability. I need to be upfront with myself most of all.
I weigh 200 pounds. I am 70-75 pounds overweight.
70 pounds?
70 pounds.
It is a hard number to look at. Very hard. It's upsetting, depressing, angering. It is hard to accept. I almost try to deny it. But I can't.
Instead, I have become resilient. I will change. I will beat this. I will overcome and be better for it. And I plan to track my progress from this point forward using this formerly directionless blog.
My goals? To lose at LEAST 70 pounds by my 23 birthday on October 4. 4 months. 18 pounds a month. Roughly 5 pounds a week. Do you think I can do it? I think I can.
No, I know I can.
