New, yet determined.

After discovering myfitnesspal this week, I feel a renewed determination to stick with things. I feel like I've been "dieting" ever since January, and at times, have wondered what was the use of trying for such a prolonged period of time, when no major results have occurred. I have lost and kept off a solid eight pounds since the beginning of the year, but I would like to achieve a more significant loss.

Fortunately, I think that through the use of myfitnesspal I can become what I wasn't before: consistent. I am determined to be accurate in my recording and consistent in my calorie counting/exercise, where I wasn't before.

In the past, weekdays have been my glory days, in which I am focused on my weight loss goals. I ate the right foods at the right times and made time to exercise. Weekends, on the other hand, those were my doom days. That's when I would eat an entire bucket of theater popcorn with extra butter, and basically binge on sweets. What's worse is, when I went vacation, everyday looked like a weekend day. It was not pretty.

BUT, myfitnesspal really helps me to keep on track and be honest about what I am or am not doing. It's only my third day, but I am SO ready to conquer this weekend and not lose track. Here's to new, yet determined, beginnings!
