This journal entry is kind of random, I guess. I just felt like I had to talk about my work the past few days. I have been really watching what I've been eating, and foucising on eating less. Also, I have been walking at least 30 minutes per day. I really like walking at the lake. This morning I was all excited about going to the lake to walk, but it was raining. I went anyway and got rained on, but at the same time I felt really proud. Even the nasty weather can't keep me away from my goal. (For the record, I actually enjoy the rainy weather. I find it soothing and calming.) I have found that I really enjoy exercising, that hot sweaty feeling I get is gross but at the same time it's a signal to me that my body is functioning just like it should! Working out is something that I enjoy (like eating junk food), but when I eat junk food I feel like crap afterwards, and when I work out I feel amazing afterwards! Walking is really therapeutic to my soul as well. It's just me, my music, and the lake. I think about life, my goals, my past and future- I can think about anything and nobody else is with me to to bug me or slow me down. I go at my own pace and I go down whatever trail I want to. I really do believe that anyone can learn to love exercise- people just need to find an activity that's not too difficult for them and that keeps their interest. My muscles feel sore, but good at the same time. I love that sore muscle feeling. Maybe I'm just weird, lol.
As for the watching portions part, that has been a little harder. I really really love eating. Especially extravagant fattening foods like cheesecake. (Gotta stop thinking about it!! lol) But I have been able to ignore the cravings, for the past couple days anyway. I am both ashamed and proud to say this, the past few days I have been doing better with my diet and exercise than I ever have before in my whole life! I guess it's okay for me to say that because I'm still young, and I am choosing to own up to my weaknesses and solve this problem before I develop any serious health problems.
Whew, that was a long journal entry! Anyway, I really hope I can - no, change that to I really hope I will - continue what I have been doing. I'm sure to get some good results sometime soon :)
