blah.

It's 7:09am and I really could have done with not getting out of bed this morning, oh well. In about 20 minutes I am going to get onto Jen's treadmill for a while and then shower. Today just feels really off and gross and I hope maybe it will cheer me up a little to do a good work out or at least a moderate one. My legs and stomach are still sore from yesterday which is a good sign that this will progress soon. I just need to stay away from the oh so tempting peanut butter cookies that seem to be all around me lately. At work, at home, I can't escape them.

88988!

The calorie counting thing, being exact, is hard.. so I'm going to just say the things I've been eating. Bad = peanut butter cookies,  Good = rice. Yesterday was alright, but I can do better. Also, I worked out the other night before bed and my legs are still sore! Anyways, I'm going to go do some more working out though. I would like this to be effective. So I need to get on this! This is for me and for how I feel about myself. Writing in here is keeping me at least partially on track, I want this.

**Edit**
So, I finished level one of the Jillian Michaels DVD and I feel REALLY good. I think I'll probably check out level two and then go back and do level one depend on how difficult it is. Also, I work with Jen tomorrow and we are allowed to use her treadmill and shower so I will be doing that every morning I'm there from now on. This is so important. I've decided to extend my time before really judging how I'm progressing. November 28th is a sweet concert that I will be attending so I'd really really like to look super nice for it. Anyways, so stoked on this.

Another.

Today has been good in the ways of good. I've kept it to a healthy minimum. Looked up on the internet the calories in eggs. 100+ with yolk, 16ish without. So, in finding this out, I scrambled up to egg whites added a bit of feta and some tomato and probably had a breakfast with like 150 calories at most. Only problem being, eggs without an additive such as milk.. or smoother cheeses like cheddar, the eggs shrink in portion size. Oh well though. Yum! 
I'm making rice and veggies for dinner, maybe some chicken. I'm pretty thrilled. Haven't worked out yet today, don't know if I will, but I would for sure like to. My work out dvd finished downloading, looks easy to start off with!

So.

The last few days didn't go very well. Weekends seem to be hard to get through with this attitude, I just want to do whatever. I did, but I didn't overdo anything which is good. Calorie count is unknown, but.. not too too horrible. 

I downloaded a workout video that is pretty basic and rated nicely. It's by Jillian Michaels, so I am choosing to believe it will at least have some effect should I follow through everyday. Also, November I am starting to hopefully go to some fun fitness classes. 

This will be good, very very good.

Start

I had a long talk with a lady last night who did what I would like to do. That is why this blog is entitled 'Thirty!' I've decided that I am going to start keeping count of my daily calorie intake, work out as much as possible and just try for a healthier and thinner body. If you three ladies end up reading this.. I promise I'm doing it the healthy way. It's just something I really REALLY really want for myself right now. 

Last night I got some really good ideas and pointers. The girl I talked to said to just make sure you stay motivated and that is really the only thing it takes. It's hard to be really strict with your diet, with exercising daily and not bingeing at all.. but it's the motivation that gets you through it. She actually told me to start watching 'The Biggest Loser' and to keep tabs on the trainer Jillian Michaels, so I have been. She has a lot of very strict and useful information. Now to make it happen.

Day 1 hasn't started off very well, but oh well. I'm not too worried about it.  

Breakfast was Fruit Loops and Soy Milk.. which probably equals out to 450 calories. I've decided I can't do that anymore, well.. fruit loops part. Anyways. It's  time to shower before work. I'll edit later.
