Day 1, The New Me.

I use the excuse that I've been trying to figure out through looking at studies and reading books exactly what the ideal healthy lifestyle is and as such have not made the steps the change the way I am now into a healthy person. So here I go, no more delays! There's no day but today and this is the starting mark. One of the most basic tools in diet choices is a food diary, try as I might I can't seem to keep up with one, so what's one thing that'll keep me accountable and will help me keep track of what I'm eating? This blog! Since I always have my phone on me I'll be posting pictures of what I'm eating so I can keep track of it and it'll give me a layer of accountability since everyone will be able to see it. My goal has always been to be able to show people that you don't have to do a fad or crash diet or pills to get to your goal, just make healthy choices. So now you'll be able to see the choices I'm making and see if it makes a difference.

So here we go. My name is Melissa Crooks, I'm 24 years old and I am 251 pounds. My goal is to be 140 pounds or lighter and live a healthier more active lifestyle. Welcome to my journey.
