(Just like) Starting Over

I could have been much healthier.
I could have had smaller clothes.
I could have been sleeping better.
I could have been the success story.
But I'm not.
I let myself slip and fall and I did not get back up for close to a year. I could make promises and say I won't let that happen again, but why make myself feel bad and put a ton of pressure on myself?
The fact is I did not stick with it, and as a result I gained back the weight and feel just as miserable as I did before I started this a year ago.
Starting Thursday I am starting anew. I'm making myself accountable to my family, friends, and co-workers.
My goal is simple. Avoid eating grains and sugar, bad oils, agents of disease as Dr. Kurt G Harris says. Move. Sleep. That's it.
I will weigh myself Thursday morning and take measurements and pictures of myself. I will
take a picture of myself every week in the same spot and same outfit and keep a journal of how I feel and what I eat. I will take photos of all the food I make and post them to this blog. I will not beat myself up and weigh myself every day, in fact, I will not weigh myself again until the end of March 2012.
I honestly have never felt as good as I did when I was eating primal/paleo. I don't know why I thought bread was worth the cheating.
Anyway, I am excited to start again. This time I have armed myself with lots of paleo/primal books, cookbooks, and blogs for ideas, motivaton, and inspiration. I can do this. ANYONE can do this.
Let's give it a go!
