Back on the Wagon?

I know I was supposed to start the whole healthy eating thing again on January 1st. After all, it's the start of a new year, right? But with a 4-day weekend, that didn't really happen, so now here I am back on Dayy One trying to be healthy. I figured my weigh-in day was as good a day as any to kick-start things again. As of this morning, I weighed 195.4 pounds. Not exactly an earth-shattering number. In fact, I've been somewhere in the 190-195 pound range for a full six months now, so it's time to do something about that.

But a lack of exercise during that time period means that I am bigger than I was before. 195 pounds of mostly fat is just plain bigger than 195 pounds of fat and muscle. So my pants are a bit tighter, some tops ride up a little too far...I just feel gnarley.

So as of today, it's back on the wagon, in the saddle, on the horse, etc etc. The eating has gone well today, though exercise was shaky. I woke up at 8:30 after going to bed at midnight because I stayed up to watch Lifetime's new series Dietribe (not bad!) and then couldn't settle down for another hour. And I'm meeting a friend for coffee tonight, so I won't be able to exercise after work. But tomorrow is a new day!
