It's going pretty well. I have been much more conscious of what I am eating and I have kept up with doing my 5 minutes of exercise. I did 5 minutes of sit-ups/crunches yesterday. The day before I focused on my legs and butt and did some stretching to work on my flexibility. I am trying to mix it up so I don't get bored. I think tonight I will do push-ups. I am thinking I will do push-ups every other day so I can tone up my arms because they are really bothering me. Final decision.. so push-ups begin today! Let's see how that goes. Another life change I made... (well beginning today) drinking more water. I brought two bottles of water for lunch today.. and I don't have monies on me so I am forced to drink them... so we'll see if that helps.. plush I am dehydrated so I need it anyways. Alright that's my up-date.
My eating portions are wiser I am doing push-ups every other day and I am going to begin drinking water vs. soda. But just to keep myself up with the water... I can still have sweet tea when we go out to dinner.. because I love love love sweet-tea and well diets aren't fun if there aren't rules to break!! :)

Day Uno...
Okay.. well it's the first day of the so called diet... and well.. I'm doing good so far! I did my first 5 minute work out last night.. I did a couple sit-ups and some stretches.. I'm really wanting to become flexible again.. I miss that! Hmm... also last night for dinner I had a little smaller portion then I would normally have. Baby steps! For breakfast.. instead of extra cream and sugar in my coffee I had it with the amount they normally put in it.. and you know what?? I like it.. also I got normal cream cheese on my bagel instead of extra! So I'm moving in the right direction already I think. Small steps will make a big impact in the long run (or so I keep telling myself!)
Alright... wanted to let you know how my first day of the diet is going! I have my first 15 minute walk (my break) coming up in an hour or so.. wish me luck and good luck to everyone (if anyone) doing this with me!! :)

Okay Here We Go
Are you ready for this wild ride called Dieting?? I'm not really but it's time!
I woke up the other day to get dressed and realized my "fat" pants are close to not fitting me anymore! I have a "gut" and well quite frankly I just don't feel sexy anymore. I feel ashamed of my body and I am embarressed to be naked or even in my bra and panties infront of my fiance. He's been super respectful of everything and understand about my weight gain.. but I know he doesn't find me as sexually appealing as he did 6 months ago!
The first step I took... I got off the Depo Shot which had me gain 35lbs... that's INSANE... and it's all in my gut and it's gross!!!! Second step.. I'm cutting back my eating. I have decided baby steps is the way to go.. and as long as I am not overkilling myself a whole bunch of new rules and everything I will be way more likely to follow this Anti-Diet Diet!! My next plan of action, exercise for 5 minutes a day and increasing each month until I reach either 45 minutes or an hour of exercise each day.
I read an article about a woman who did push-ups for one minute every day and she said after 31 days she was able to do two sets of 15 push-ups with absolutely no problem and lost 7lbs! So that's actually a big inspiration! If I were to lose 7lbs per week then in less then half a year I will have lost the weight I put on from the shot.. and to be honest I think considering I am working on my eating and I will be doing exercise I will hopefully lose more then the 7lbs a month! Another thing I am doing, considering I work in a call center, I am going to walk during each of my 15 minute breaks. So that's an extra 30 minute walk added onto my 5 minutes of exercise! So let's see how it goes!
Oh yea another thing.. I'm not even doing the "healthy" food thing.. literally all I am going to do is cut back on my munching and portion control! For instance I am having a whipped yogurt and one of those Wal-Mart potato soup bowls. I am sure that isn't very healthy.. but it's a controled amount of food so I wont be over eating! Okay... time to begin this Diet, if you can call it that... actually it's more of a life style change.
Just to keep you updated.. I plan on blogging a minimum of once a week.. and then if I have any sort of rough days or really good days I will be sure to note them! Maybe I can even get some people to join me and we can do this together!? Team work people... makes life easier!! :)
Alright... good luck if anyone is doing the same I am... or even to the people who are turning 2009 into a positive sexy year!!
