A little progress

So Junk Free January was a colossal fail. I did ok until I got strep and couldn't eat anything but mashed potatoes and gravy and ice cream. And after I recovered I didn't stick to my guns like I should have. I did, however, start doing regular kettlebell workouts, and today Emery, Dexter and I walked 1.3 miles after I got home from work. Every muscle in my lower body is screaming at me - but I'm not giving up. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I'm back to counting calories and being very careful not to waste calories on junk. I'm sticking to about 1200 to 1400 calories per day, and since I've got a fridge full of fresh fruit and veggies, I've managed to do it without going hungry. Baby steps....I'm all about the baby steps!
