    Welcome everyone! A new year is just around the corner, and we're ready to start our slow and steady journey to feeling better about ourselves.

    One thing I've noticed about myself, from consistently logging, is that I can squeeze exercise in without too many issues. My biggest issue is self control around chips, cookies, and snacky foods.... and eating within my calorie goals.

    What are your areas that you need to focus on this coming year?

    My biggest challenges/goals will be taking time for exercise and eating foods that aren't just empty calories. I work twelve hours a day, 5-6 days a week, so it's difficult to balance work, family and taking care of me. It is not impossible though. I just have to stay focused. :-)

    I am a snacker too. I don't have a sweet tooth, but I will wrestle a bear for a bag of chips! I also drink my calories in the form of decaf, soy lattes. A 12 oz size is only 100 calories, but instead of a couple of those I could have a larger (and more nutritious) meal. My $ budget will be quite a bit smaller for 2017 so hopefully the latter will take care of itself.
    I noticed I think I'm hungry, and tend to binge, in the afternoons. I changed my daily logging from meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc.) to time periods. I step back and really check my hunger level if I log during that time. Usually I am just tired and stressed.

    Thanks for starting this challenge. I think it will really be helpful.
