I've started the year with hopes and dreams. Why do I feel like I'm setting myself up? I might be but I'm still optimistic that this year is the year. At this point I feel like people roll their eyes at me when I say that but it's true. It's been 3 days and I haven't accidently eaten anything bad. That's progress for me.

New Year. New Start. Same goals plus some new ones.

I'm hitting the new year with high hopes and motivation. Last year I watched a few people in my life either doing surgery or shots to lose a giant chunk of weight. I will admit I was jealous. I'm also cheap and paranoid my health would tank if I tried either of these things. Plus it seems slightly wrong to not approach my goal without putting my health first. So that is my first goal. I will eat healthy, move daily, and cut most of the garbage out of my day with a lower carb/carb cycling plan.

Second goal.. I will find passion. No not that passion. Well maybe that passion. That isn't the passion I'm talking about though. I want to start my own company this year. If I'm going to spend 60 hours a week slaving away at night then I might as well make sure I'm spending some of that time on something I can be passionate about. Work can still have 40 hours. The extra time is going to be an investment in me.

Maybe goal 2 will distract me enough to keep up with goal 1 without obsessing every hour over bacon and cupcakes. I can hope!

Counting calories and marcos is HARD. Seriously. Half the time I dont even know what I put in my mouth let alone how many calories, carbs, and protein it is. Breakfast was easy.. I didnt have time to eat it.

Accurate lunch tracking:

Maybe 1/2 of a burger with pepper jack cheese from a restaurant not listed on here. The boyfriend cut it in half and honestly I think he got the bigger piece but he added bacon that wasn't in the nutritional info that I added (you're welcome) so I'm assuming I might be almost close? Maybe.

Tots.. ooh the glorious tots. Half of the tots that came with the above mystery burger. I might have eaten half but the BF eats slow. Then the teenager showed up and finished some tots. I didn't count the tots. Does the kitchen count the tots? Who knows how many tots there were. I didn't eat all of them. 3 people consumed them. I'm assuming I ate no more than half so I logged half.

Beer.. yes please. Wednesday lunch on a day that would not quit. 2 beers.. got that. BUT then Dave oh glorious Dave. We love Dave. Dave gave me samples. Then Dave gave me a beer called Nerds. It was sooo sweet and sooo yummy and so happy. It was the prettiest red color. It was like an alcoholic dessert in a fancy beer glass. Fancy beer glass = less beer. Less beer = less calories? Maybe? But it's not an off the shelf beer. I don't even know what the name was! I'm guessing it might be the equivalent of a hard cider? Maybe? Maybe not. I don't typically drink hard ciders so I'm throwing a dart at the wall and going. Maybe it was about that number of calories. It was well spent calories. I now don't give an F and I have the energy to make it through the rest of the day! Ok.. maybe it had more sugar than a cider.. If it did I still don't know how much it had! Maybe the missing tots make up for the extra sugar.

Tracking what you eat is exhausting and confusing. I'd like another dessert beer from World of Beer please and thank you.

I don't know what ya'll are doing on the elliptical but oh my goodness. I keep forgetting my fitbit so I decided I would log what the machine said. The machine said 680.. Fatsecret says an hour on the elliptical should have been 820. On what universe?? Is this what that nutty guy that goes all out for a solid hour burns? Honestly I thought he was just nuts and wanted to impress a girl with zero resistance to show her that he too could be the coyote on looney tunes. Crap now I need to do the discrete gym walk and see what that guy burns! I was feelin pretty good about myself till I saw that. I'm still feeling proud of myself. I went. I did it. I'm getting it done.

Today has been a challenge. I woke up at 3:30 with a work dream that left me wanting to get back up and work on a spreadsheet. There is nothing about that comment that should sound rational or sane. I left a meeting mid meeting because I would have lost my bleeping mind. I went off on a worker for stepping outside his line... And... I tried to call my mom. We have a very distant relationship at this point. I had bought her one of those app frames over a year ago so we could send her pictures of the kids. They see her maybe once a year if we are lucky. She finally set it up. I sent pictures. She didn't acknowledge she was getting them. So I figured I would call her and see if she was getting them. She is. She's in Ohio with her boyfriends daughter for a simple procedure. Even my niece went with her to support the girl. I had 3 years of brain scans and was told I had everything from tumors to aneurisms. Luckily I had neither. She didn't even bother to call to see how those tests went. We never had a falling out we've just grown distant to the point that she doesn't even seem to care. When she had a cancer scare I called her or my sister every day because I couldn't be there. I'm over it. I'm over putting effort into a relationship with my own mother. Can I get a new one of those? Surely there is someone in a nursing home that wouldn't mind being adopted by a chicken/duck/tiny human raising crazy clan. Seriously.. my kids nicknamed my mom grandma far far away because they couldn't remember her name.

Sigh.. deep breath.. I can only control what I can control. Today I am controlling my ability to get in a good workout and eat like an adult. I should look more seriously into that writing thing. I'm amazed anyone reads these ramblings. You guys obviously have not found smutty novels yet.
