I told ya!

So...I was totally right.

If I remember properly, I dicked around on the computer and did not go for my walk.  I didn't go for many walks this summer.  My bestest buddy boy, Captain (my 2 year old Golden Retriever), ended up having surgery this summer, and was laid up...and I was honestly pretty freaking lazy.

It ended up being a really...weird summer, but I'm super excited that class has started up again.  I used a pre-quarter trip home to California as a reset on some diet and exercise habits, and I am excited to come back to my blog...of 1 post.  :)

So, I have restarted my ketogenic diet- no carbs for me.  At this point, I'm 2 weeks in, and had 1 slip day...it was not a pretty evening, and I have no desire to go back to carbs at this point.  Of course I say this now.  About an hour ago I had a massive craving for sourdough toast with butter.

One nice thing about going back to the keto diet is a renewed interest in bone broths.  I've made 2 batches of beef broth, and currently have chicken stock going in the slow cooker.  The soup, the soup!  It's soooo good!  Last week I made a low-carb zuppa toscana with my homemade beef broth as a base, YUM!

So, my starting weight was 290...and I'm down to 285.  One day at a time.

Speaking of one day!  The boyfriend and I joined a new gym today, complete with a year round pool. One day, a long time ago I was a swimmer.  Swimming is awesome, I like swimming, sometimes I bitch and moan about swimming.  Also looking forward to the weights.  I have a personal trainer meeting tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

Today is just as good as tomorrow

I have a terrible confession to make: I mean to start this blog 4 years ago.  Yes, this exact blog, with this name.  After watching the "Cartman Sucks" episode of South Park (the one where Butters goes to conversion camp), I decided to co-op the camp's "Accountabilabuddy" and create this "Accountabilablog" for my health/weight loss (and now) Grad School journey.

I just finished my first year of grad school, and for the first time in forever- I don't really have much to do over the summer.  I'm working a few hours here and there, but largely, I'm free.  Today I've been texting my boyfriend the steps I'm undertaking to go for a walk.  So far, this includes:
1. Find the armband holder thing for my phone
2. Wait for wireless headphones to charge
3.  Shove phone into holder thing
4. Find running shoes

At this point, I decided to revisit my blog /facepalm.  This is where we're at.  The next steps include:
5. Actually go get socks, you know where they are :P
6. Find that sports bra, put it on
7. Throw some seemingly correct "exercise clothes" on
8.  Sync phone with headphones
9.  Find perfect play list
10. Go on a walk. 

So. Now that I've written all of this down...I actually have to go do it.  It's going to be warmer tomorrow, so I better start before Tacoma becomes unbearably hot at 78 degrees.  It's not like I grew up in California where it's currently 94...

I hope any Internet wanderers that come across this find solace in that there are other just like you...waiting for their headphones to charge before they try to make themselves healthier. 

Soon, there will be pictures.  That is all.

Edited to Add:  Oh shit.  They've charged.
