Introduction

 Hello, All! 

I am embarking once again on a journey to eat healthy. I had used my old blog before to update, but I'm not a teenager anymore (I'm 27 now) so I decided I needed to start new and create a new blog! 

Over the past few years (especially during the pandemic) I gained a LOT of weight. I am the heaviest I've ever been, and that doesn't feel good. 

I'm getting back into sailing and I bought a hobie18, but it's made me realize how out of shape I've gotten. I get out of breath from doing barely anything now. I also can't bend over and breathe at the same time. :/ Not fun. 

I've also had SO MUCH HEARTBURN. 

I used to work at a preschool and I was a lot more active. Maybe not heavily active, but moving around, getting up and down, etc, every day. Now I'm working from home as a developer and my activity has decreased to barely anything. 

Here are my goals: 

- Walk every day (no matter how far) 

- Jump rope 3x a week 

- Eat primal/paleo 

Rules: 

- No wheat/gluten, rice, or potatoes 

    (I will lean more towards keto carb counts, so I am still eating low-carb tortillas rather than gluten-free. However, I will not allow any of these other carbs. The tortillas will be the one thing I'll allow.) 

- No sugar 

    (Maybe honey, but very little. I use sweetener in my hot tea, but I'm going to cut that back. I'll continue to drink diet coke, but only ever outside the house.) 

- Eat veggies as much as possible. At least once a day, but every meal is better. 

So yeah, that's my plan. I'll be keeping a daily blog since it seems to help me stay on track. I probably won't track anything because it just bogs me down and takes too much time. We'll see how I feel in a week or two. 

Later!
