Last night I caught the 2nd half of a 2 part documentary called fat and back. A woman from the UK who wasn't happy about her tax dollars helping to pay for 5,000 gastric bypass surgeries a year wanted to prove you can lose weight just by eating less and moving more. She gained 43 pounds in 3 months! Completely unhealthy but stay with me I have a point. She then proceeded with her experiment to lose the weight in the same amount of time. No gym, no trainer, no calorie counting. She ate whatever she wanted, but in small portions. She made sure to walk 10,000 steps a day and exercise 3 times a week. In 3 months she lost 30 pounds.
This woman used a lot of fat shaming. She was very mean and who knows if it was 100% real but regardless of all the things I found messed up about her and her experiment, I was inspired. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how little I move in a day. So all the calorie counting I do can't be making much of a difference. So I'm going to keep it simple. Eat less, move more. I don't mean starving myself, I mean portion control. To make sure I'm taking all the steps, and getting my exercise. I'm going to start out with doing 5,000 of my daily steps here:

Right in my own home!
Every hour a timer goes off telling me to walk up, then down my steps 10 times. I was going to do it 20 times but the first time in I realized how out of shape I am and that I need to work up to that.
Eat less, move more.
Day one.
