The product I am waiting for has not come in the mail yet. I hope today so I can get on the program tomorrow.
After having some conversations with the boy (aka, Bob, the boyfriend, the leading stress in my life...another LONG story!) I've decided I am not going into detail what I am doing with him or anyone else in person. On here, only I'll read this and maybe a select few, if that!
I've decided that I don't need to hear anyone else's negative comments, know-it-all attitudes, and crazy, near religious clap trappings about what I am doing or about to do. I am trying to get HEALTHY and thin and fixed, mentally and physically healthy. If people, the boy included, was a medical doctor, a nutritionalist, a dietician, or hell, even just healthy thin people telling me their thoughts, I would listen. However, I know none of those types of people and I am tired of being brought down with negative energies. I am drowning in it at home and I just need some air! So to sum all that up, I am telling everyone I am "eating right and exercising" because I am. It's not lying if I tell the truth. Because if everything goes right, people will notice me being thinner and healthier looking in less than one month! *squee*
BUT Before I go into exactly what I am going to do, this is what I have done so far:
In the last few weeks I have been walking every day during the week at an even brisker walk with my ipod and 2 dogs in the woods or at a local park. The one trail is 3/4 mile long and we'll walk that twice. The woods is a little different as there are lots of up hills, some steep, some slow gradual ass burners, and lots of bugs.
I have been eating much better with fruits and veggies present at almost every meal, if not part of a snack. Protein has also been present at every meal. I have been eating smaller portions than usual and drinking lots of green tea, iced tea, water, and my usual cup of coffee in the mornings. All of this in preparation for my next few months of hard core, going to do this for REALLY real, show of getting thin and healthy.
I've also been doing lots of research online, reading books while taking everything I read with a grain of salt. I know, I know, you can't believe everything you read and I don't usually. I have my gut instinct that looks after me and if something sounds fishy, it usually is, right? Sometimes. I'll go into more detail on the specific books, etc later.
Today, I did pretty much the last few things on my list was to buy a few items needed for the next couple of months, besides the food I'll need.
Those items would be a food scale, a digital weight scale, and a tape measure. If all goes according to plan, I'll be using those tomorrow or Thursday when I get started. I also picked up some pure Stevia extract, which is a natural sweetener that doesn't add toxins to your body and slow your metabolism down like other man-made sweeteners. I tried it in my green tea. Not bad at all! No weird after taste like Splenda has or even Equal. I'm not a fan of Aspartame (the pink packets) because why would you knowingly ingest something that's a carcinogen? It's always bugged me reading that they cause cancer in lab rats, at high doses, I know, but those poor rats! No more diet soda, either. Ever. Bad stuff right there. However, I do love Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper but they make me love it with all the bad shit inside! No more.
So I'm excited because this time, I am doing it the right way. I can feel it.
