Back to it again.

Ok, so I started back to my healthy lifestyle on January 2nd. As of today I have lost 9.6lbs and I'm feeling pretty good. I've been walking with Karen and doing the elliptical and both have been kicking my butt! But I think I'm going to start journaling on here my thoughts and feelings because a lot of what I'm eating is emotional and I've been thinking about starting a journal for awhile now. So mine will be public and hopefully it will show people they're not alone.

So today January 29, 2007.

Here it goes... Thoughts right now? Well, I can't escape the fact that my back pains are back. They come and go and I'm not sure if the exercising is causing the pain...but it sure is getting on my nerves. I always thought that when you exercised you should feel better...but I think you feel a lot worse before you begin to feel better. Any thoughts on this..please swing them my way. Another thought. Well I'm already anxious for my clothes to start fitting better. But I've tried my jeans on and I just can't tell a difference. Karen reminds me that you lose weight in all different areas like your legs, and arms....but why can't I just lose it in my waist?..I mean, come on already!!

So Karen and I made a really great healthy meal that I got out of my new cookbook. I got this cookbook at a thrift store for $4 (well Melanie bought it..but I snagged it.) So I think I'm going to start posting recipes on here for everyone's enjoyment.

Ok, hope everyone's having a great week!!

So...

It's almost been a month since my last post. What's wrong with me?! I told Dina that I'm just not as interesting as everyone else to be able to blog every day. BUT I'm really going to try to post more often. I know that this is the best way to keep up with everyone and for them to keep up with me. So it's just been same ol' over here. I haven't started school yet so I'm actually kind of bored..and a little stress free. I start school in February..so I'll probably be posting more on here..just so I can vent. Well anyways, I found out that I only have two classes left before I can apply to nursing school. I'm super excited about that..because MAYBE if I get accepted I'll be able to start school in the Fall. But if I don't..there's still plenty of classes I can take to go towards a bachelor's degree. So I've basically got everything planned out. Anyways, I miss Erik. He's in Utah and he's been gone since Thursday. It hasn't been that long and I'm really to busy during the day to miss him...but it's at night when I'm wanting him here the most. I just get in trouble because I watch scary movies..but I never actually got scared when he was here. So I've had to lay off of the scary movies until he comes back. But I do pick him up at the airport tomorrow..so yay! Ok, well I better hit the hay...miss you guys!
