Where do I go from here??

Okay, so I have no problem admitting I have no idea what to do about getting in shape. Well, okay, I actually have an idea, but I don't know how I am going to accomplish it. I'm not very good at losing weight, apparently. :(

I have a couple of friends that have had amazing results eating 1500 calories a day. But it's soooooo boring!!!!! I want variety, flavor, chocolate, bread, pasta, chocolate, red meat and did I mention chocolate?!?!

So, what do I do? I know so many people say to "be happy with your own body" or "just be glad you're healthy" or "love yourself, even if you don't like how you look on the outside." But, I don't want to be happy with how I look because I'm not happy with how I look so why would that make me happy with how I look?!? Got that? Probably not. I don't know if I even got it!

So, again. What do I do?

Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. Or, in this case, the weight loss journals.

Until next blog, where hopefully I'll have figured out how to lose weight and get back into "the shape of my life!"

It's a lot of measuring and planning for me, but it looks like this is what I need to do right now. Well, at least until I get in to see the doctor and get my levels tested.

So far, I feel good. I have a slight headache every now and then. On day 4 of eating this way I felt a little light headed/dizzy. I believe it is beacause I needed to eat at 6:00pm and it was already 6:30pm. As soon as I got meal #5 in me I started to feel fine again.

Btw, 2 lbs down this week. Healthy eating is the key. Well, that and exercise. I've exercised everyday this week for at least 30 minutes each time. My legs are a bit sore, but that's fine with me as long as I am going in the right direction! Which is down...Lol.

So, now it is time to snack on meal #4 and head home to watch the Wichita State University Shockers play in the 2nd round of the 2012 NCAA tournament!! Go Shox!!!
