Little Lover's So Polite

I've been eating a little bit more, but I feel because I've been doing running, and just got my bike and started riding it, that I should eat a little more since I'm working off calories. Since I've given up alcohol for a month in a half I've felt much better. I'd never work out if I was hungover, and since I'm never hungover...I work out more. I never knew how much I'd actually enjoy it. Not necessarily enjoying it during it, but afterwards. My days just flow better if I work out. Even if I worked out at 6pm, I feel as though it erases everything. I always forget how working out is always the best coping mechanism for me.

Friday's run was hard. I felt like puking afterwards. Which I hear that means it's working. I'm so proud of myself. I need to stop eating so much though.... really. I'll lose it faster if I just cut out food. ESPECIALLY AT WORK!!! That food is fried, and disgusting. And you feel sick everytime you eat it. Saltine crackers are okay. No soda too. Except when you need the caffeine. Drink coffee, black. No more pink lemonade either missy! Baby carrots are always good snacks to nibble on instead. Today at work, it was slow. When I'm busy, I'm too busy to snack on crap.

Since I'm moving out soon, I'll have zero money for lots of food. And since I don't eat meat anymore, it's all fruits and veggies!

Going off to college... scary shit. You're 23 years old, it's time to start living your life. Going places. I am excited to see what the next two years have in store for me.

First Blog.

I've decided to start a blog on my progress of losing weight, and getting my body back. I know the way I'm doing isn't the healthiest, but with so much going on in my life, I feel as though I have no control over anything else, so why can't I be in control of what I put in my mouth? So far, it's going amazingly. Yesterday, I woke up at 6:30 am, without any sleep at all really, and went on my 5k run. At work today, Philip and I are going to take Stitch for a walk. Work made it possible to be too busy to eat last weekend, and 5-11 hours of constant walking and standing has burned off what I have eaten. I ate the crust of Philip's pizza today, a soy iced latte (like everyday), and I had a bowl of special K with rice cereal. I measured half of what the normal serving is.

I enjoy being disciplined in SOMETHING in my life. I'm already down 5 pounds since last Thursday. It makes me so happy. I've got to keep working towards getting skinny. You can do it Emily. Keep at it. Every day...
