Read Part I
I have begun an annual tradition of challenging myself by giving up a vice. 2013 will be the third time that I am doing this. Year one was soda, year two was ice cream and year three will deep fried foods. Since french fries and fried sweet plantains are two of my favorite foods, this will definitely be hard for me.
Along with my annual vice fasting, I am also making the choice to change my life and live a healthier lifestyle. I'm changing the way I eat and I'm committed to getting to a healthy weight. I started the year at 245.5 lbs and on 1/9/2013 I weighed in at 242.2 lbs. I'm using a number of tools to help me along the way. Below is a list of my tools.
MotoActv: this watch and the accompanying website and app are two of my best tools. I can set personal workout goals, track my walking and overall physical activity.
myfitnesspal.com: this website is key for me. It allows me to track my food and water intake. The absolute best part is that it's free.
Godspeed on your 2013 journey, and your comments are welcome.
