leftovers

Hello, so it's day two of my new life. Damn that sounds cheesy. Luckily, it doesn't matter because I have good news to report. Yesterday on my lunch break, instead of driving to McDonalds and ordering a big mac, large fries, chicken sandwich and a strawberry shake (with a diet coke, or course!) I just went walking. I walked up to Amoeba on Sunset Blvd. and back. Then, when I got off work, I went to Gold's gym and did the elliptical running machine for 45 minutes. Then I did hand weights for 20 minutes and then did one machine. It was very exilarating. Needless to say I was pretty tired when I got home, but instead of laying down to watch TV with some junk food, I sorted the laundry and my boyfriend and I took it all to the laundromat.

Well this is interesting. I never meant to Blog. And now it seems I'm not meant to, as I can't seem to figure out how to work this. Wait, I just figured it out.

With each passing week, I slip further and further into irresponsible eating, over-indulging, binge-drinking, etc... and it's just finally gotten to that point where I REALLY must stop it. And, although I have been at this point for several weeks now, I just have to do something, ANYTHING, to get my life back into my control. By that, I just mean about the eating & working out. The rest is OK for now (although my finances could use some work). To explain things, I am 27 and in a band. I also have a day job working in an office. I like to eat food a lot, and I love fast food. I also love cookies and muffins. I like Ice Cream too...
