Ready...  set...  go!  Excited to be taking this month (my birthday is in two weeks) to get back to me.  Some bad eating habits crept back in this year and I cannot wait to kick them to the curb.  They say it takes 21 days to start a new habit.  I'm ready!

Kids are back in school and it's time to focus on packing better lunches for myself while I pack theirs.  I even started today with a protein packed smoothie for breakfast instead of my normal muffin.

I actually stopped weighing myself daily this summer so it wasn't a whole lot of fun to step on the scale this morning for the weigh-in photo.  I also started boot camp last month and know that muscle gain is part of the reason my scale is up...  so I am hoping that with my eating habits back in check and the continued exercise, I can meet my 4% loss for this challenge.

Interestingly enough, my goal weight for this challenge is slightly more than what I weighed last summer, before the creep began! The hard part is going back in to MFP and admitting the weight gain.  

Oh well, here we go...

Carpe Diem!
