Fabulous February – one month of effort

This morning while listening to a random playlist of Frank Sinatra by Alexis I had the idea to take one month out of my life to improve my diet, health, and weight.  If I am going to Fly me to the Moon I could stand to lose a few pounds.  This is my way; from Monday, 1/28 to Feb 28 I will state here daily my weight, calories ingested, alcohol consumed, and steps taken per my FitBit.  My goal is to simply emulate others I know who are so smart, disciplined, and fit.  I don’t want to be a Funny Valentine so Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Fortunately, I have the Coffee Song and Come Fly with me if you wish.  I got this….one month!  Starting weight 205.3
