I'd rather be in... bed!

First things first, PLAN. I thought I had this whole plan of what I was going to be doing and how I was going to reach the 5 percent goal loss I wanted, but truth is... I hate counting calories, I hate counting points, and most of all I hate keeping track and tallying them in the end. I do it... but it's not where I want to spend the little bit of time it takes to do!

So after much thought, and some research on the web and through many books, I've decided that I'm going to get on this low carb wagon and give it a whirl. I love my sweets, but after evaluating my eating habits and the little tracking diary of my foods for ww, i realize that most of my consumption is lettuce, and a lot of protein. I rarely eat potatoes, it's usually a special occasion, or somewhere out at a restaurant that my consumption is of potatoes. However, bread is where I fall short. I do love bread, but I really don't eat as much of that anymore either. The truth is, there's no balance or structure to what and how I eat. Classes are done, and I have much more free time on my hands. So it's going to definitely allow me to plan more for food, and get out of the house, instead of sitting around in a book or at a desk!

Exercising is going to be key to my overall goal. I have to push myself for more... I'm back going to the gym...sparatically, but definitely going, even when I have no desire or energy to do so. It's of course important for burning calories, but I really want to utilize the fact that it's always a way to tone the body. I'm tired of flab! I want to run... I've never been a runner, but I'd like to try to be. I have a lot of problems with my legs due to a car accident that I was in 7, almost 8 years ago... but even if it hurts... I want to run. That's the ultimate goal that I want to work myself up to in the exercise department. I have to start somewhere.

My focus right now is definitely my health. I want to shake this terrible tired, depressed, and un-energized person I carry around with me, and become who I know that I am. It's been a very long time since I have felt good.-- felt good about myself, the way I look, or even internally. I have to stay positive and motivated, and figure out what is the best for ME!
