Intro, Or, The Excuse Post

So last year has been chaotic with lots of changes and things that basically made me go stretches of time with poor eating and workout discipline.

In short: time to get serious and get consistent.

However, lack of accountability makes it easy to backslide. The purpose of this blog is for a few family and friends to relentlessly mock/prod/cajole/encourage (but mostly those first few things), particularly if they see an absence of posts.

The way this works is simple:

Each day I write a super short log entry:
Did I eat on plan?
If not, how bad did I deviate?
Did I exercise on plan?
If not, how bad did I deviate?

I might write more, but the point of this is NOT to write an actual touchy feel weight loss blog- it's just reports, so certain friends and family can see what I'm doing and not doing, on a day to day basis.

I will also report measurements and weight, but in "coded" format because holy crap I'm not putting that out there in public.

The Plan (Diet):

Intermittent fasting, with six hour window starting at 6pm. Since I'm VERY capable is eating an ENORMOUS amount in that six hours, the format this will take is: one meal at 6 or after, and a protein shake/bar at the very end.

The Plan (Exercise):

Resistance workout every other day: legs, then back, then chest, repeat.
Every day: 10k steps.

The Goal:

-10 lbs by birthday (October)

-25 lbs by Christmas.

The Challenge:

I'm starting a new job, requiring a cross country move, and I'll be switching living arrangements fairly often over the course of the next 6 months. Normally this would be an excuse to not do well, which, seeing as 2016 has been a not so great year for me fitness wise, simply can't happen.
