So, I am back on the wagon. According to my beloved SparkPeople, it has been well over a month since I consistently tracked what I was eating--not dieted, but took note of what exactly I was putting into my poor, beleaguered body. No more! I am back on the wagon today. I'm not going to obsess about every thin calorie; that would make me crazy and I would rebel. For right now, I am just going to log into SparkPeople's handy-dandy food log thing and make sure I know what kind of crazy stuff I am consuming.

Also... I am starting a streak. No meat!! I did 12 days back in October, and I'm not satisfied with that being my best possible time. So starting today, I'm going to actually listen to that crazy little line in the Word of Wisdom and eat meat only when I just can't look at another broccoli floret without feeling the need to murder something. That's not to say that I don't like broccoli florets; I quite like broccoli, though I am more of a fruit person. Fortunately, the WoW doesn't say anything about milk, or I would have to try streaking vegan, and I would possibly lose my mind. P.S., no-meat doesn't mean low-cal.

Unfortunately, this also means that I will also have to start exercising again. O, how I loathe exercising! Up here in the greater Toledo area, we don't exactly have any great, hilly places to hike, which is the one type of exercise I have always been able to do consistently and with joy in my lipid-flooded heart. But it will be necessary to reincorporate some actual exercise now, as my goal is to lose 21 lbs. (or a full size) by my birthday, which is in 25 weeks. Lose 21 by my 21st! Yeah, that is the goal. Oh yes, there will be prayer. The fervent kind.
