here we go…

I signed up the other day. I’m preparing myself for a clean start on Monday, so that I can clean out the fridge and pantry, get my menu created for the week, and get the grocery shopping done.

I would have started the day I signed up, but, well, I don’t have a lot of the items for these meals on hand. On top of that, it’s the time of year my wife works long hours, and we have two young kids (3 and 6).

I signed up for a reason, and that, I feel, is an important first step.

My motivation? Those same three people I just mentioned. My wife, my son, and my daughter. If that isn’t motivation enough, I don’t know what is. I need to do this to be around for them as long as I possibly can. This isn’t new. It’s always been my intention. But after recently learning about a medical condition I have, I really need to take my nutrition and diet more seriously.

I’m looking forward to a healthier lifestyle.
