So I am a slacker in some areas. Keeping up on this blog is one area I am working on. So I started my reboot on Monday August 1, 2016. I didn't write a blog entry because I did not know I started the reboot. How could I not know? Well I did not consciously think about starting it. I began by working out on my new Ultimate Body works. I went to yoga and ate really well that day. Then I did the same thing again yesterday and a trend emerged. I thought to myself, why not start now. I think now is the time to start this "physical" portion of my reboot. I weighed myself for the first time in a while. It was not pretty, especially after a heavy weekend of drinking. I came in at 237. At least I know where I am starting. I plan to weigh my self once a week on Mondays to see where I am at and to snap a new pic of my progress. Thankfully a rigorous yoga schedule has kept me from being a total porker!

I am including pictures of me from April, 2016 (left 2 images) and from today, Day 3, basically just starting out. I need the visual motivation. Although I am still approx the same weight I was back in April, you can see that doing yoga for the last few months has helped me tone up a little. No much, but progress is progress. Now its time to take it to the next level with a proper diet too!

As I have been thinking and pondering what it will be like to be fit and lose weight, I realized a few things that might help you in your journey. 

1. It won't happen overnight.
2. Be kind to yourself. You will screw up along the way.
3. Be realistic. In the course of 31 days, you will need days off and beer. Well at least me :)
4. Drink more water than you are comfortable with. It plays a HUGE part in weight loss.

1. Small steps
2. Find short-term rewards
3. Track your progress
4. Enjoy yourself
5. Never ever give up
6. Get a workout partner
7. Vary your workouts
8. Focus
9. Rest is important
10. Focus on long term
11. Focus on your diet first
12. Find the exercise that works for you
13. Learn to be present
14. Don’t let your body adapt too much
15. Get inspired
