So it starts!

So my weight loss journey has officially begun! I have a lot of food in the fridge to use up, so I am unsure how strict my diet wil be but I still limited my portion sizes and was more careful than usual in my selection. I am considering following the "8 hour diet". Basically it means selecting an 8 hour portion of the day and only eating within that time frame. I have not fully researched it but it makes sense to me. I rarely can just hop out of bed and eat (especially with children!) and I can't stomach it anyways. And then with evening, I already know that eating before bed is generally accepted as not smart! And I know from experience that I don't like that full feeling when I go to bed, makes me feel a bit sick. So this might be a good jumpstart to my efforts. Yesterday morning I weighed myself and I was 156.6. Today I looked in the mirror and look slightly less pudgy and my weight this morning is 155.0. It's a start. I wont be counting exact calories but I will try not to exceed 1600 if and when possible.
