fitness kick-off!

hooray.  this year's personal fitness challenge starts today!  

it comes at the end of a long summer.  i tried to eat well, or at least better than the previous summer, but the good intentions i had did not always mean it actually happened.  

this was the challenge that kicked me into gear last fall and i'm ready to go at it again!  

i'm putting my goals out there in an effort to stick with them:
* lose 2% body fat
* lose 5 pounds 
* stick to the 100 days of real food plan as closely as possible...knowing that a few things will have to go by the wayside (bread and mini york peppermint patties)
* give myself ONE (and only ONE) treat per week...this can be a meal, a dessert or a starbucks...no treat days or in my case, treat long weekends...

our challenge lasts 7 weeks and we get weighed every other week and we track our food daily.  food tracking is really beneficial and and can completely change how you eat as long as you honestly track your food.  i love myfitness pal and i have been on it (with a few short breaks here and there) from when i did this challenge last september.  

here's to hopefully changing my eating habits for the better and getting rid of the junk.
