I know we have all heard that tired, overused cliché “New Year, New Me”, but do we ever truly mean it? Is it something that we say because we feel the need to verbalize that this year is going to be different than last when deep down we know that, more than likely, we will just fall back into the same old routines?
I started this year out with the “New Year, New Me” attitude: but with that attitude, I have also changed my lifestyle. It doesn’t mean anything until one takes action—you know that other cliché “actions speak louder than words”. Well, I am about that life this year.
What is this change, you might ask? I have set a weight loss goal – and have fully embraced the ketogenic lifestyle. There are days, like yesterday, where I fully embraced a slice of pizza – but I won’t allow a moment of weakness to totally derail me back to my old life of carby fatness. I have witnessed several people who talked about it for a while, and then went back to how they were, and I vowed to myself before I even committed to doing it that I would be different. I won’t cave into cravings or revert to my old self. I need this. My body needs this. My relationships need this. My self confidence certainly needs this.
I began January 1st and have currently lost 5 pounds (even with that slice of pizza). Five pounds doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a step in the right direction.
