I posted over at Lavish a few days ago about how I am so unmotivated to start exercising and losing weight. It is something that I’ve been wanting to do for as long as I can remember; probably since I started gaining the weight that I have. I’ve gained a good 20 pounds since I moved out on my own which was last August and I attribute that to fast food because it’s quick and easy and having not been a cook when I moved out, I didn’t want to attempt it. I’ve gotten better with the whole cooking thing and somewhat enjoy it now especially since I started buying magazines that have recipes in them. But I still haven’t been able to kick the fast food, mainly because it is quick and easy when I am working all day or I don’t have time to fix a good dinner before work and eat it when I only have an hour in between shifts.

However, I’ve decided that I’m really going to attempt a lifestyle change because I NEED too for MYSELF. I went grocery shopping the other day for the first time in awhile and got back into buying more healthier items. Fresh fruit, diet soda (instead of regular…at least for now until I can stop completely), lean meats and no junk food (except two bags of chips – I do live with my brother). I think I did pretty good. I’m also going to try and start making my lunches and bring them with me to work or class and I am going to go look for a bike this coming week. I am going to add biking into my schedule, SOMEHOW, so that I can get some exercise. This is all stuff I plan on doing without resorting to taking top rated diet pills, if there are even top rated pills. I also am going to start logging what I eat and cook and exercise if I can think of a new domain name.

Here’s to getting healthy!
