A new awakening

I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a few months and realized that I have gained 15-20 pounds this summer.

Looking back, it was mostly the stress and eating like junk at night. That's not to say that I have the most stress in the world, plenty of people deal with far more and handle it better.

I think my approach now will focus on tracking and staying accountable for a month or two, since that will really help jump start my fitness. But more importantly, I will focus on how to handle stress better.

At night, I get home and basically plop on the couch and start chowing. I am so exhausted after work, despite it being mostly sitting in a cubicle, and I just have no motivation to do anything. Even going for a 20-30 minute walk is a challenge most nights.

I will try to post here regularly since I have a half hour shuttle from parking to work every day, and usually spend that time dealing with email or catching up on social media.
