Losing weight

It's true. I decided it was time for a change and I wanted to #FightTheMonster and face the fact that I gained weight during COVID. My COVID gain wasn't pretty. I reacted to the pandemic by becoming a squirrel who stored her nuts for the winter. I ate like I was never going to see a Chipwich again.

Yesterday was the start of week 2 on my quest to lose 10-15 pounds by summer time. Click here to read last week's update. Not a good week as you can tell by the updated picture. I lost .2 pounds. FAIL! It IS better than gaining but it is not the results I was looking for.

So The Lovely Christina and I have been talking all last week about whipping my butt into shape as we approach summer. Just to refresh your memory, I'm not going crazy on a super strict diet and I am not becoming a gym "rat" either. I'm just looking to reduce the gut a little bit. I would like to lose 10-15 lbs. I will however, watch my calories and do some ab exercises here and there. R
