I almost made a local fitness friend! Almost.. so one of the dads in town sent me a facebook messenger message. I'm like ok.. That's G's dad. Maybe G wants to come hang out over here. But it never goes in that direction.

He asks how my day is going, comments about the snow, talks about training for a 50K.. insane and nuts but I like insane people so tell me more. Then we talked about gyms, training, avoiding cookies. All random chit chat about getting into shape. He lost a bunch of weight last year.

Finally on Day 3 he makes some comment about having a rough day at the gym and his shoulders hurt... ya'll know where this is leading. I replied with "Sorry my boyfriend has a strict rule against touching other men." He's never voiced this rule but I'm assuming. This was also the first time I could organically fit I had one into the conversation without randomly saying it like I had turrets. Apparently the local gossip had not clued him in. Or his sources were bad. BF has been to the boys games on several occasions. Oh well.

My new possible fitness buddy is no longer talking to me. I'm going to assume he was looking for a local hookup and I was a block away.

I am now on the market for a non-hookup platonic fitness buddy. Apparently I like overly used motivational quotes and cookie shaming.

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.
