So I’ve been trying really hard to stick to an exercise program and eating healthy.  I think the whole summer was one big party for me as far as food goes.  We had vacation after vacation… which meant I pretty much ate anything and everything I could think of.  I started to feel so gross, my body was achy and I was tired all the time.

That’s pretty bad for me because I’m one of those “weird” natural foods type people.  I don’t buy sugar, butter, white flour, cheese, any processed foods… you get the picture.  I don’t even own a microwave because I’m a lot less likely to eat junky food that’s quick and easy to cook if I can’t just pop it in the microwave.  Anyway, I’m telling you that so that you’ll understand how disgusting I was this summer.  For instance, the night I ate a half gallon of moose tracks ice cream with two additional Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups crunched up in it and an additional squirt of the chocolate shell stuff on top.  I don’t even want to think about how many calories that was.  Or there was the time that we went to the movies and I ate 3 big boxes of different kinds of candies;licorice, Swedish fish, and Reece’s pieces.  I think it’s safe to say I have a sweet tooth! I’m one of those people that I have to finish the whole thing too.  So if I take too much in the first place, I’ll pack it all in until it’s gone.  I love the I’m so full I can’t breath feeling, gross, I know.

Okay I’m done blabbering, I just wanted to accurately convey how far I had “fallen”.  So as an update, I’m eating awsome and I’ve excersized everyday for the past two weeks.  I’ve already lost 5 lbs, which is great, because soon I’ll be able to graduate from my sweat pants (which are currently the only things that fit me).

If anyone is in the same boat as me, I hope that we can motivate each other and reach our goals.  Good luck and I’ll keep you updated.
