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!!
