9:07 am	Can I have extra cheese on that? I feel like I should be starting my diet regime today, although I don't have my book. I don't want to begin until I have read about it at leats for some time. I'm going to try the South Beach Diet, only beacuse it is mostly about eating good for you fats and carbs and substituting other things for sugars. I'm such a picky eater, so that scares me a little and I really love salt... grr. Oh well, I'm really gonna try. So what do I think I'm going to have problems with?.. ~Cutting back my salt intake. ~No drinking ~To picky of an eater ~Love super fatty foods Sigh.. Ahh the things I'm going to do for my body.

9:36 am	Some Soul food This is my first entry, obviously. I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle as far as food goes. I love to cook, it's a hobby of mine, but I would definately like to cook with lower sugars and learn how to make great dishes with half the calories. I have always been thin, always. However, about 5 months ago I had my son, Logan and since that moment I have felt just a smidge heavy. Am I? No, but I am far less toned than I was due to the pregnancy and I would, mre than anything, like to get that shape, or something I am happier with back. I think that is the whole idea to dieting and exercise. Making oneself happy. Feeling good about trying to be healthy and making consious steps toward eating well or better than you were. As far as the exercise goes, I have been trying to walk places rather than use the elevators and starting work today walking up three flights of stairs is a good way to start. I have done 40 crunches for two nights now and feel pretty confidant about keeping that up. I would eventually like to work up to 100 a night, but for now 40 is good. I have to keep telling myself not to get to gung-ho about this and to just take is slow. It has been about a year that I haven't been nearly as active as I once was and it will take time before I'm back in the swing of things. But for now, taking these steps in the right direction makes me happy. ~Lauryn Current Mood: nervous (Comment on this)
